Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Verse the World
First, we're not accusing you of doing anything malicious. Second, please sign posts with four squiggly things ~~~~ like those. Third, Wikipedia is free - yes. But it's an encyclopaedia that cannot include everything. An obvious no-hoper would be "What I did on my Holidays", by Jason Smith (age 8). (With the exception of it getting issued in hardback by Doubleday and selling 50,000 copies...) An obvious must-be-in is "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë. In between is a vast expanse of varying notability. Have a look at  for general notability, and  for what are reliable sources. So far, you only cite your own site. You may know more about this work than anyone else (until the experts and critics really get going...), but this is not a reliable source - according to Wikipedia's standards. We're not accusing YOU of dishonesty. We have seen a lot who are. The article was tagged for speedy deletion as spam (but with a posh way of wording it that's built into the template). I declined the speedy as it didn't look wholly promotional which is the real target of that tag, and opened this discussion. It's not a trial. It's a review procedure. It's normally open for seven days, and an administrator will read through it and make a decision. (Won't be me - I'm involved. It's one who hasn't taken part.) You should find us all willing to help and explain. And if the discussion goes against you, we can advise on how to try again with a new improved version
