I don't see the page below demonstrates unambiguous advertising (The article is inserted inline below to get specific with concrete examples.)

OK. Part of the problem with this is that it is a self-published book with no outside referencing given to show notability. (It appears to be the only, or at least the main, book from the publisher, which appears to belong to someone with the same surname as the author.) Being self-published is not a bar to having an article, It requires rather more in the way of independent reliable sources than does a book published by, say, Random House or McGraw Hill. The Further Reading section contains only the product itself and an advert for a guide to getting started with the system. Free, yes, but even free things can be promoted. All in all, there appears to be a lot of internet publicity for this book. (That's not the same as coverage, by the way.) If it can be shown that the requirements for the showing of notability can be met, there is a case for the article. Until then, this would appear to be another part of the campaign. Don't get me wrong - one has to promote self-published works as one doesn't have a big publisher to do all the work. Unfortunately, Wikipedia is not for promotion and in the absence of indicated notability, promotion os the only purpose seen for the article. You may be able to prove me wrong. I've no objections to that. Peridon (talk) 19:31, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

It is far too promotional. Please read Wikipedia:User pages#What may I not have in my user pages? and the Wikipedia:Spam guideline. – Athaenara ✉ 19:42, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

• Peridon -- Those are good examples. What makes more sense to point to in the Further Reading? (Compare with the "Further Reading" in the Pomodoro Technique, and compare to Getting Things Done. I want to get the model right before I create more pages, but first I want to test an assumption with you. My assumption is that Time Management is incomplete because it promotes two systems. I know of at least three more that should be documented for the sake of completeness. My question then would be -- what's the right things to point to for Further Reading?

I would say to get the notability sorted out before worrying about linking further reading - especially to the product and tie-ins. Peridon (talk) 20:11, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

• Athaenara -- You stated a conclusion and opinion vs. showing examples. I'm sure you see the difference, as your feedback comes across as biased and unsubstantiated. Peridon is a good example because he shows examples and illustrates his points. Can you share any examples to support your thinking beyond stating conclusions?

Archive

I followed the steps and guidelines for a new user. I started a new page and followed the guidelines -- the article is factual and without any opinions or biases. The article is consistent with existing Wiki articles including Getting Things Done and Pomodoro Technique. [Unsigned]

The article was deleted because it was considered spam under the guideline G11, perhaps Wikipedia:Writing better articles would help you? One tip is when writing an article don't use the words "your" or "we" such "we offer good service" or "you are guaranteed to love this book" or else it'll be considered spam in many cases. I hope this answers your question but if not, feel free to leave another message. SwisterTwister talk 03:16, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
