Talk:Shit Creek Review

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This entry was nominated for deletion on the grounds that the topic lacked notability and violated Geogre's Law.

On notablility: "In general, the text of an article should include enough information to explain why the person [orin this case entity] is notable" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(people). I believe the article clearly does that already, but I will add more material to that effect. One criterion posited for 'notability' is 'The person has demonstrable wide name recognition': "Shit Creek review" currently yields 2680 Google hits, and is widely referred to and discussed on online poetry forums. Furthermore it provides pdf archives of its editions and has a stated policy of producing an annual print edition. It includes articles and poetry by well-known published poets and writers such as A.E. Stallings, R.S. Gwynn, Tim Murphy, Alan Sullivan, Rhina Espaillat, Lee Passarella, Wendy Videlock, Robert Clawson and many others. It is frequently cited as a publishing credential by authors both online and in print. As to the comment 'Only an online magazine': is it then proposed to eliminate the entire category 'Literature Websites'?

Addressing the issue of Geogre's Law: 'Geogre's Law: A law attributed to User:Geogre and most frequently referred to in Articles for deletion. Paraphrased, the law states that there exists a strong correlation between the lack of proper capitalization of a person's name in the title of a biographical article, and the failure of the subject of that article to satisfy the criteria for inclusion of biographies.'--If this is a fair summary, it must apply to the title: presumably because that is in quotation marks. I would appreciate some advice on how to edit the title to remove the quotation marks.

Update: I think I rectified this title issue by using 'Move Page' to move the entire article to a title without quotation marks.
