An article about a book that's not finished yet by a non-notable author. It was marked as speedy, but as we don't have a CSD category for non-notable unfinished books, I have nominated it for AFD. —Cleared as filed. 03:25, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I say if this young man would like an article about his book on Wikipedia then allow it. What does it hurt when there are no entries under this topic in the first place? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dariusarsenal (talk • contribs) 21:21, 10 January 2006.

• • Comment, above keep vote was a probable sockpuppet attempt by the author of the page. The comment was originally unsigned. Once again I think speedy should apply as we all know what the vote will end up being on something like this without a doubt. -- SusanLarson ^{(User Talk, New talk, Contribs)} 21:28, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Because on Wikipedia we only publish articles about notable people and things. Let's hope this young man's book is a roaring success, and then he will get his Wikipedia entry. Until then he won't. --kingboyk 23:21, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per above -- SusanLarson ^{(User Talk, New talk, Contribs)} 21:28, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. Reverted article to older version to remove vote tampering. The following two votes were deleted during the process of reversion, and are now restored here. (Neither vote is mine) ManoaChild 22:46, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Stay All evidence is credible i.e. the website in which he refrences to view the story, although it starts with his last capter. I read a paragraph of the story, it is not particularly well written but it is not hurting database as there are no other entries under this title. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Todaywarrior (talk • contribs) 21:34, 10 January 2006.

• • Keep Read the story from begging to end. I thought it was pretty good so far. I encourage you to allow this "young author" to keep his work as I am in favor of young literature being posted and read on wikipedia.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Obscurestories (talk • contribs) 21:41, 10 January 2006.

• • • Comment Again the 2 votes above appear to be clear evidence of sockpuppetry/meatpuppetry. Could an Admin run a checkusers on these accounts. All have very few edits either beginning with this article for deletion or the Chronicles of friendship article. -- SusanLarson ^{(User Talk, New talk, Contribs)} 22:50, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• comment yeah you guys are pretty good at this stuff. I am the author of the article and the book. I would like to say you found my meat puppets quickly, kudos. Also a kudo to Tom for handling the critisism well. Sorry old chap, all in the fun. Unfortunately I must say I am disapointed with Susan Larson for deleting TodayWarrior's vote. He is not a fake and has never before used Wikipedia. That is why his record shows no other posts. He is the big fan Taylor I mentioned in the "Chronicles of Friendship" post. I would also like to thank ManoaChild for the "good luck" on my book. And for one last puppet of the sock:

• Delete as non-notable. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-01-11 02:25Z
• Delete per nn. This is an advertisement for an unpublished fanfic, not an encyclopedia entry. Dariusarsenal, understand that Wikipedia is not an advertising page. Trust me, this happened to me too, but now I understand that Wikipedia is for information. Try posting a link to your novel on a young writers' message board. krispymann25 14:55 15 Jan. 2006 (EST).
