Speedy deletion nomination of User:Ken Lovan

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Ken Lovan, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Gtwfan52 (talk) 20:50, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --Ken Lovan (talk) 21:00, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

I suppose it is, but the reason I posted it is because I can't seem to upload the title of the book, 'Love Goes To Nam' with a link (Synopsis) to the description, on the Wikipedia page 'Novels set in Vietnam' or Vietnam War Novels. I will delete it if that is your policy, but please direct me to the help that will allow me to upload the title and synopsis to your already existing categories.

Thanks, Ken Lovan

Hi, Ken. Please note that Wikipedia is not the place for promoting your book. We only write about books that have reached our notability standard for books, which you will find here: WP:NBOOK. Generally, we do not write about books unless they have achieved something; be it a major award, be the subject of numerous different reviews published in reliable sources, have been included in multiple high school or college curricula, been made into a movie, or whose author is historically significant. Please don't take that as a diss of your book; encyclopedias by nature are tertiary sources. In other words, we only write about what others have made note of. It is entirely possible that it just may be too soon for your book. Gtwfan52 (talk) 21:22, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
