[edit]Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with THE STAND: The Final Flight of Lt. Frank Luke, Jr.. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion. Thank you. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 02:05, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
THE STAND: The Final Flight of Lt. Frank Luke, Jr.
[edit]I've moved this page into your userspace at User:Sopwith21/sandbox. Please ensure it meets our guidelines for notability & doesn't read like an advertisement before you move it back into the main article space. --Versageek 03:53, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
- Look, it's highly unlikely that this book is going to meet our notability criteria prior to it's release. Normally we just delete this sort of page, however you stated you put a lot of effort into creating it, so as a courtesy, I moved it to your user space. I've protected the title from creation for 2 months.. if the book happens to get significant publicity before the protection expires, drop me a note & I'll consider unprotecting it to allow you to move your article back into the main space. Please take advantage of this time to add outside references (about the book, not the person) to the copy located in your sandbox. --Versageek 17:44, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
