School: The Seventh Silence

Completely non-notable fantasy novel [1] out from a micro-press and utterly failing WP:BK. A WP:single-purpose account has been busy spamming it and the author around the encyclopedia [2]. Reverting all of this promotional damage will be a large task. Qworty (talk) 07:33, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

delete does not appear to meet WP:N - the only sources are the publishers blurb and a claim that the author was reviewed in an on-line zine - but I was 'unable to find the quote within the zine, so that leaves only the publishers blurb. I also tend to believe the claims of spamvertisement, because even the "quote" from the publisher had been padded. Another possibility is to merge to the author's article Craig Herbertson-- The Red Pen of Doom 10:59, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-notable book, questionable references. I'd not merge to the author's article, which reads more like a long term social networking entry. I'd suspect the author may have been involved with this page. Minkythecat (talk) 12:57, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm the authors wife so there is a conflict of interest. Just realised it now - I'm German so my English is not quite fluent and theres a lot of stuff here. I got most of the material from my husbands records and promo: The Emerald City quote is here below:

But looking carefully at notability it is only one source so you might as well delete it.

Emerald City Issue 108 August 2004

interview with Mike Glyer

'MICHAEL: POD is in its infancy. It’s something we would not consider doing at this point in time, because the loss of print quality and production control is so great. At the moment, it’s not the way we would bring out a writer’s work, although I applaud Storm Constantine’s experimenting with the medium and appreciate that writers like Craig Herbertson, whose brilliant first novel she is publishing, and Adam Daly, another quirky and eccentric writer, would not otherwise get out. Which is not to say that we will never produce books in this way, because when the technology improves, as it will, we obviously would do.

Delete no NPOV, little notability, also odd that it says he's divorced, yet the above poster is his wife? Shoombooly (talk) 02:21, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Shoombooly made this comment when deleting my article 'Craig Herbertson' about my husband. So everybody can put this into the grave with some dignity can I point out my husbands first wife is English and I am his second wife and I am German so its not as odd as you think.
