Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stanley Gallon
Considering that you only registered on Wikipedia several hours ago, you tire very easily.  The issue before all other issues is Notability.  Wikipedia is ot#Wikipedia_is_not_an_indiscriminate_collection_of_information|not an indiscrimate collection of information.  Other websites are, Wikipedia is not.  There are literally thousands of websites where this content is welcome.  MySpace comes to mind.  There is no reason that it ''has'' to be on Wikipedia.  Even if the book is published, it ''still'' may not meet notability standards.  The fact that a large publisher is publishing it is not enough.  It also has to be a success and make a notable mark on the public consciousness.  Quibbling that it absolutely positively will be published isn't the point. If you have a problem with Wikipedia notability rules, take it up here: Wikipedia_talk:Notability.  ''Do not'' take it up here.  This is not the place for it.  The fact that you only seem concerned that ''this'' article be allowed in clearly labels you as someone with an outside interest in the Gallon's public profile
