Author of Citizenville Book

edit

Hello Excirial,

My name is Catie. I just submitted an article about Citizenville, which you denied because of this: No indication that the book passes the inclusion criteria set in WP:NBOOK. Gavin Newsom, the author of the book, I believe falls under guideline 5: The book's author is so historically significant that any of his or her written works may be considered notable. This does not simply mean that the book's author is him/herself notable by Wikipedia's standards; rather, the book's author is of exceptional significance and the author's life and body of written work would be a common subject of academic study.

Gavin Newsom has twice been mayor of San Francisco and is now Lieutenant Governor of California. Can you give me any further information as to what more I might need to include? Does his political career not make him a notable author?

Thank you for your time and I hope you are having a nice day!

Hi there Catie,
Unfortunately the answer to the last two questions would be no. While Gavin Newsom is notable enough for a biographic article, this does not mean that anything created or written by him is equally notable for inclusion (Notability is not inherited - being related to someone notable doesn't grant the related topic notability as well). If this would be the case every book written by a celebrity would automatically qualify for an article, not to mention anything else that might suddenly be notable due to being related.
Criteria 5 itself equally does not apply here. As the second part states: (To quality for this criteria) This does not simply mean that the book's author is him/herself notable by Wikipedia's standards; rather, the book's author is of exceptional significance and the author's life and body of written work would be a common subject of academic study.. To put it as a jest: I doubt that there will be many college classes doing an academic analysis of Gavin Newsom. Criteria 5 is only intended for extremely well known writers such as William Shakespeare - In these cases any work written by that author tends to be analyzed and thus deemed notable.
As for what you can do for the article: Proof it is notable par the book policy trough criteria 1,2,3 or 4. Seeing as to how the book isn't even published yet i would say it is extremely difficult to near impossible for a biographical book to pass these criteria already though.
