[edit] Ismael Camacho

The first version of this article was massive, including half a novel! It has now been chopped down to a sensible size. But it is still a personal memorial with no assertion of notability. Author did not even manage to link to her own website. -- RHaworth 20:55, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

• Hi Mr. RHaworth
  I have edited my article. I hope that you like it now. You can find a reference to my father's novel at [1]. It's a bibliography of the Colombian novel. Please go to page 45

  • It's difficult to find the articles he wrote for the Colombian newspapers in 1970. There wasn't any internet at that time, so I won't find anything on line. His play was famous in Colombia in 1969. I'm trying to find anything about it in the Colombian newspapers. The archieves on line don't go back to the sixties. It would be easier if it had been in England. Perhaps I can get a time machine. I give you again the link where you'll find a reference to his novel (Go to page 45) [2]
    
    I have to find archives of the Colombian newspapers on the internet. An impossible task! I think it's easier to build the time machine.

    • Mr RHaworth and friends.
      I have been thinking about this. You only want in your Wikipedia people who are very, very, very, very famous. My father only had some fame in Colombia as a writer in the sixties. I have been trying to find the articles in the Colombian papers about him but it has been impossible. So I don't mind whatever conclussion you reach. I have translated his book into English. If it is published again, perhaps he could be in your wikipedia.
      Thank you
      Maria

• Delete Wikipedia articles are not meant to be memorials. WP:BIO criteria for article is not verifiable. No Amazon.com or Neilsen ratings Bookscan numbers. original researching and POV problems. -- moe.RON ^{talk | done | doing} 19:47, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Thank you Ron. Are you famous? Do you have Amazon com ratings?
    You're deleted then.

    THERE WAS NO AMAZON COM IN 1970

    Comment I do have Amazon.com ratings; but that has no bearing on this. "You're deleted then"? Huh? Please express in detail how the page meets WP:BIO and I will be satisfied. Are there reliable sources written on this author? Who was the publishing house? Were the works released/performed worldwide? Just some questions to establish WP:BIO. Cheers! -- moe.RON ^{talk | done | doing} 20:28, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

    • Hi My father was published in 1971 by Tercer mundo. A publishing house from Bogota, Colombia. The book was released only in Colombia. I'm having the book republished in England. Then perhaps he'll get Amazon com ratings.
