Related article The Severed Man
Please note that if this article is deleted, the related novel article The Severed Man also fails notability and should be considered for deletion. Active Banana (talk) 17:51, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
Notability and third party coverage by reliable sources
WP:N requires significant coverage by third party sources.
The only coverage by third party sources that are not publishing his works are:
- fantasticfiction.com - a website run by D C Wands and L E Dickinson. There is no indication that any of these meet our requirements for reliable sources with a reputation for fact checking and accuracy.
- sffworld.com - whose about page [[1]] proudly proclaims " All run by a bunch of volunteers who invest of their spare time to make this possible. " - again, not meeting WP:RS
- booksmonthly.com - run by Paul Edmund Norman again, no indication of meeting WP:RS
The other "sources" are all publishers of Manns work, therefore not independant / third party sources. If you can show some evidence that these actually meet our criteria for WP:RS or link to someplace within Wikipedia where there has been a widespread discussion that incidates the community feels that any of these sites is a reliable source, please do so. On the face of available evidence, they do not.Active Banana (talk) 15:22, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
- The most recent attempt to add Amazon.com as a source is also clearly inappropriate. Please read WP:RS. Active Banana (talk) 15:45, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
This is clearly nonsensical deletionism by an entirely unhelpful and obstructive editor. The author has been published by multiple, notable publishers - is Active Banana claming this is not the case? It seems that Active Banana believs that he should decide what is suitable under WP:RS - can he demostrate where any of the sources included have been deemed unreliable? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.238.1.134 (talk) 12:04, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
- The person wishing to add or return content to articles needs to provide sources that meet the reliability criteria. I have shown how they do not appear to meet the criteria. You have not provided any evidence to the contrary.
- And please, be civil. Name calling and speculation about others' motives is counterproductive and does nothing to advance your case. Active Banana (talk) 15:51, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
