Hope for the Flowers

A tag has been placed on Hope for the Flowers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Coppertwig (talk) 00:00, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that. Before putting the speedy-delete tag, I did a google search to try to figure out whether the book had any special notability. I guess I wasn't thorough enough. All I found were a couple of online book reviews, which didn't seem enough. Amazon is supposed to have ratings of how many copies of a book have been sold, but I couldn't find it -- do you know how to find that? Anyway, I put on the speedy-delete tag, but it was someone else (an administrator) who actually deleted the page, and I guess I was hoping they would maybe do some checking too. Many pages are deleted very quickly. Many others go through an articles-for-deletion (AfD) process that takes about 5 days to decide whether to delete them. I didn't invent the whole system. When I first joined Wikipedia I created one or two pages that were deleted without me being warned at all. Anyway, for future reference, it's a good idea when you create a page to right away include something that shows why the topic is notable. I won't put any delete tags on that page again (though I don't know whether anybody else will). Good luck -- it looks like a nice book. --Coppertwig (talk) 00:24, 24 November 2007 (UTC) See also Wikipedia:Notability (books) -- according to which maybe it shouldn't have been speedy-deleted. Sorry again. I'm relatively new at the speedy-tagging thing. Anyway, on that page you can find criteria to try to satisfy demonstrate, to keep the page from being deleted. --Coppertwig (talk) 00:29, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Don't worry about it. It's a learning process for both of us. --Coppertwig (talk) 00:39, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Peggy Kamuf

Somebody nominated Peggy Kamuf for speedy deletion. I have changed that to proposed deletion to provide a few extra days. If more details can be added to the article soon, that may help prevent it from being deleted. - Jehochman ^Talk 03:31, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
