'I'm just here to get something clarified, I'm actually not pissed off or anything like that, I'm just curious what "unsourced promotion of vanity-press book" means? If I came across vain in my article, I am incredibly sorry and had no intention of doing so, but any sort of pointers to fix/avoid this in the future please do tell. I'm pretty good at taking suggestions, as long as they're reasonable and I'm able to reasonably carry them out!

See Vanity press: the book in question is published by a vanity press/publish-on-demand company, hence, it's a "vanity-press book". There no sign of any outward notability or notice by the outside world for this self-published book ("unsourced") and the article's creator -- you -- has no edits outside of it, so it's being put here, it seems, not to document its fame but to create it -- i.e.; "promotion". Hence the PROD tag. For the next step, see below. --Calton | Talk 07:07, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies again, am I not allowed to promote my own book? Lulu.com states that I have advertising rights to my work, and so I'm not really sure how I'm to go about actually fixing this problem...

Nope: see WP:SPAM and WP:COI. --Calton | Talk 07:24, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I understand then. If I could find how to delete it myself then I would, but please feel free to do so if you can do it yourself.

I can't do it because I'm not you: the request must come directly from you. To request that it be deleted, just add the tag "{{db-author}}" to the page and it will be taken care of. --Calton | Talk 07:31, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
