The Sixth Wave is a horrible title for a Wikipedia article, there are so many things called "6th wave".

You need to learn to add independent references, and wikify as well, and to write in a neutral manner that is not advertising.

OK, thanks for the feedback. This is the first time I have created a user page so I apologise for violating so many wikipedia principles but I'm still trying to work out how to do this. This page was not intended to be advertising, but a document about the arguments and theories put forward in the book. I'll try to rework this page to reflect your feedback. In the meantime, I'll at least address the COI concerns by pointing out that I am a co-author of The Sixth Wave. And The Sixth Wave is not a 'terrible' title because it's the title of the book and it refers to the sixth Kondratiev wave. The only concession I can make to address this comment is to alter it to be "The Sixth Wave - book" BNogrady (talk) 23:50, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

No conensus to move. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:32, 18 April 2010 (UTC) User:BNogrady → The Sixth Wave — Have created page as a user page but it is ready for main article space. BNogrady (talk) 23:50, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

• Stongest possible oppose - this is an advertisement masquerading as an article - see WP:SPAM; in addition there is absolutely no evidence that this book meets the notablity guidelines at WP:NBOOK. – ukexpat (talk) 20:22, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
• Oppose. The book fails WP:N, has no reliable secondary WP:S and is definitely an essay rather than prose. A lot of work has to be done before this is even considered. The article is a straight AfD if not speedy. —  H3llkn0wz  ▎talk  22:24, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
