I took off the scheduled for deletion notice or maybe it was lack of notability he put up. I couldn't bear. I am fearful he >will put it back.
It was actually just a notability tag, which I think was being kind in comparison to listing it for deletion. It means he was AGFing that you would be able to add the sourced information showing that it was notable and giving you time to do so. This is the issue--how can a male editor decide a woman's novel is not notable. on what basis?
On the same basis a female editor can decide that about a man’s novel.
On what basis in Clive Cussler notable? That he’s a regular denizen of the bestseller lists in many countries who’s had works adapted into major motion pictures (To be honest, I think we should say that “all published works by authors who have their paperbacks displayed prominently in the racks near the front of bookstores at airports are notable “).
Hi Kathleen, in answer to your question, the notability guideline is the basis by which both male and female editors >should assess articles. You can find it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability
There is, as I’ve posted at the article talk page, a further set of guidelines for books: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_%28books%29
