By the way, when you are writing on a discussion page (or someone's talk page), it is considered good manners to sign your comment... to do this, just add ~~~~ at the end of your comment.

No sign of notability found at reliable sources

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Status and Advice

[edit]

As reviewing administrator, I declined to delete the article, for it is apparently a popular book by a possibly important author. But the article is not really adequate. As a minimum, it needs reviews to be found and listed as sources--any librarian can help you find them. As he has written other books, consider writing an article on Falkner.
