Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Noah Berlatsky (2nd nomination)
None of these arguments are valid reasons for deletion. Wikipedia Wikipedia:Wikipedia is a work in progress|is a work in progress and Wikipedia:Deletion is not cleanup|deletion is not cleanup. There are tons of articles right now that aren't being touched, but that's not a reason to delete them all or else Wikipedia would just be an encyclopedia mainly about celebrities. Your argument about a book not being on sale in your country as proof of non-notability is ridiculous and if it was a valid reason we'd never have articles on, for example, many award-winning Japanese books just because they weren't sold wherever you're from. Same thing about sales figures: many articles have been about financial failures (not to mention this was published by a university press; clearly not meant for mass market). Lastly, |conflict-of-interest editing is allowed and unless an article is completely an advert, not a reason for deletion. This article was already at AfD; you need to base your argument on our |notability policies and not your personal feelings on what constitutes notability.
