Welcome!

Hello, Rodti, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Claire MacLeary, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of Claire MacLeary

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 Claire MacLeary requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "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 deleted 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, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Claire MacLeary

I nominated your page under A7 because the article did not demonstrate that the article's subject is significant. The policy for A7 states that an article mustn't demonstrate any credible claim of significance or importance. The award nominations are a close call. Wikipedia:Credible claim of significance which defines the term "credible claim of significance or importance" as used in the policy for what defines an A7, states that an article's claims are "credible" if

A. is the claim being made reasonably plausible to be true?

B. assuming that the claim were indeed true, could this (or something that "this" might plausibly imply) cause the subject (possibly with other plausible information added) to be notable? Or, does it give plausible indications that research might well discover notability?

The claims in the article pass A, but may or may not fail B. I am leaning towards fail because the awards that she was nominated for are not themselves notable. I will remove the A7 tag for the time being while you add information to the article. JJP...MASTER!_{[talk to] JJP... master?} 13:09, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

References

• I've updated the page with additional citations. Hopefully this is sufficient to meet the criteria. --Rodti (talk) 15:40, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
• @JJPMaster: WP:CSD#A7 only applies to articles that make no credible claim of significance, and that is a much lower bar than notability. All speedy deletions are only for completely uncontroversial nominations. The moment you feel an uncertainty, don't use CSD, but settle for AfD instead, because you need discussion. --RexxS (talk) 01:48, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
• Rodti: Awards for book may show that a book is notable (see WP:NBOOK), but notability is not inherited, so an award will not necessarily contribute to the notability of an author. In addition, being long-listed for an award is insufficient to establish notability: the criterion is to win a major literary award. WP:NAUTHOR sets quite high requirements in their criteria as well, so you're probably better off searching for coverage of Claire MacLeary in magazine or press articles. I'm reasonably certain that the article in its current state wouldn't survive articles for deletion. --RexxS (talk) 01:48, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Page unprotection request for Bloody Scotland

Hi Rodti, I've declined the request you made at Requests for Page Protection because I do not think the draft is ready for the mainspace. However, that doesn't mean I can't remove the protection at a later time, once you've added a bit more to the draft.

I see you have categorized the page already. I suggest taking a look at other pages in Category:Literary festivals in Scotland for example, or Category:Literary festivals more generally, to see how an article about a literary festival can be laid out and what sort of information it could contain. Some things to work on would include claims to notability and additional content (supported by reliable, third-party sources). Take West Port Book Festival for example: It is of note due to its use of many working second-hand bookshop venues, pubs, fish and chip shops, cafés and art venues in the West Port for most of the events, and its insistence on free tickets for entry. This sort of information gives us a better idea of the festival and why it's notable.

Please note, I have not done extensive research to determine whether or not the subject passes the notability guidelines, though I think there's a pretty good chance it does. Feel free to send me a message at User talk:Airplaneman when you'd like me to take another look. I know I've given you a lot of information. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Cheers, Airplaneman (talk) ✈ 02:16, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Ah, I just saw RexxS's post on RHaworth's talk page. And funnily enough, I don't see any protections on the Bloody Scotland page (I took a look at the page logs). So there's nothing to unprotect even if and when the time comes. Airplaneman (talk) ✈ 02:19, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Claire MacLeary moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Claire MacLeary, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
