The result was Speedy delete under criterion A7. Article does not assert notability. Physchim62 (talk) 18:32, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

A7 applies only to people, groups, bands, clubs, companies, and web content, not to books. So this is more of a deletion under WP:SNOW/WP:IAR than a deletion under WP:CSD#A7. Melsaran (talk) 18:36, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Caught In The Crossfire

Caught In The Crossfire (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I'm looking for a quick sanity check and a snowball close here. This is an unfinished novel by an unpublished, unknown author. The wikilink Bobby Graham in the article takes you to a very famous English, not Scottish, session musician, and there is also a retired Scottish footballer, Bobby Graham (footballer). Neither of these famous, and by now rather elderly, Bobby Grahams is a "young Scottish author". The book, we're told, will be "hopefully published upon completion", but no publisher is mentioned.

I tried adding a proposed deletion tag to this article over a week ago, in fact the day after the article was first created, but the original editor removed the tag, which is the only reason the article still exists. Tony Sidaway 18:18, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, no assertion of notability, no sources. The article consists of a huge plot section and a lead section saying "it is a currently unfinished book that will hopefully be published upon completion". WP:CRYSTAL, WP:BK. Melsaran (talk) 18:19, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete One of the basic minimums is that the book should have an ISBN, Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Threshold standards. Yngvarr (t) (c) 18:23, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
