Draft:Exploring Wine Regions

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

Sometimes one comes across a draft which the creating editor, a COI editor, is polishing more and more to become an even more effective advert.

Despite the advice of multiple reviewers the pure blatant advertorial is getting larger and larger. Even if the book might be notable this draft will not move to become an article and this editor is unlikely to be the person to continue the dogged pursuit of publicity. This draft fails WP:NBOOK and the references are not helpful in moving towards a probability of success in this regard Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 21:43, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Note:: The draft is currently rejected. It was offered for review a few minutes after I proposed it for deletion, and I rejected it for completeness. Should the outcome of this deletion discussion be to keep this draft my I suggest respectfully to the closer that they revert my rejection, leaving it in the state of just having been submitted for review Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 22:36, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete G11 as a page that is "exclusively promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to serve as encyclopedia article". This draft as it stands is blatant promotion, basically every sentence here is written with a advertorial tone. Phrases like "inspired the author to conduct such extensive research", "comprehensive in its presentation of tourism and wine education at all levels" and "The book's pages are glossy and colorful" have no place in an encyclopaedia article. As it stands this would need a 100% rewrite to stand any chance of being accepted. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 22:40, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Neither Michael C. Higgins nor his book series appear to have been the subject of comment by independent others. Therefore it is not a viable Wikipedia article. It has no chance. Wikipedia makes a mistake by inviting people to start drafts without hammering home that independent reliably published comment by others is required to start a topic. From the beginning, an article on this barely reviewed book series had no chance. Advise the author: get experience improving existing articles, get to know Wikipedia, read WP:5P, before attempting a new topic. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:10, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete due to repeated resubmission resulting in rejection. —  csc -1 02:00, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete user has been editing for 5 years with his only contributions being the promotion of this book, it is blatant advertising, delete and salt. Theroadislong (talk) 07:02, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. This has all the trademarks of self-promotion (such as gratuitous refbombing and an advertorial tone), despite the creator's refusal to admit as much. Other than the comments from reviewers, and despite his claim to the contrary, all edits have been by the creator, whose sole purpose in editing here has been to get this draft published. The lack of reliable sources and repeated rejection of the draft suggest that this draft will never be a viable article. I recommend deletion of this and all other copies of this draft (such as User:Pilotmichael/Exploring Wine Regions). -- Kinu t/c 08:27, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt for strongly promotional tone. It still reads like a promo from the author's website. Not here to build encyclopedia as it doesn't show any criticism for the book. AngusW🐶🐶F  ( bark  •  sniff ) 19:50, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete due to tendentious resubmission. Vaticidalprophet 22:56, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: Spam. Hardly worth preserving.  Java Hurricane  09:37, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete due to tendentious resubmission, and as an abuse of Wikipedia for advertising. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:46, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: There is another version at User:Pilotmichael/Exploring Wine Regions that has been waiting i the wings since June 2016, last edited January2019. It should be considered when closing this deletion discussion. This appears to have been a long term project of self promotion Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 06:46, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
