Speedy deletion nomination of J. L. Edwards(No 1 Best-selling author)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on J. L. Edwards(No 1 Best-selling author), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

To have an article on Edwards, you'll need to make a number of changes:

Make sure the article is written in neutral point of view and not in overtly promotional tone.
Demonstrate that Edwards is a notable person.
Cite reliable sources that are independent of Edwards to back up the claims of notability.

The third point is especially important since, based on your username and your access to Edwards to take photos of him (that are on Commons), you have a conflict of interest with the subject. —C.Fred (talk) 18:27, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
