Talk:David Alderton

Speedy deletion nomination

This should be discussed at AFD. I do not see how this article "does nothing but promote some entity or product and would require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic" and this authors books about pets and fish seem to make him sufficiently notable.--HighFlyingFish (talk) 07:26, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

I agree that the page needs more sources and information. Here are some things I found. http://www.dorlingkindersley-uk.co.uk/nf/Author/AuthorPage/0,,1000052769,00.html and http://www.bookfinder.com/author/david-alderton/ (a list of his books on BookFinder).--HighFlyingFish (talk) 08:03, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

I think that is is a case of improving the page rather than deleting it. Snowman (talk) 10:04, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

I noted in the history that on the 4 April 2010 Snomanradio's edit summary included the words "(looks like copy vio from authors website, so deleted)". Oops - I misread those words, I thought he meant he had proposed the article for deletion, and it didn't help that on the 11th April David Alderton undid that revision. I will remove the Hangon template and work on the article. Mark^Dask 11:08, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

On that occasion, I deleted what looked like copy vio from the page. Snowman (talk) 11:17, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
