DEUD

I can't find any evidence that the fiction summarized here is published anywhere, let alone in a real book, which to me would be a reasonable notability level to require here. So this is non-encyclopedic, and smacks of vanity. See also David Eckert. CDC (talk) 17:50, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

If this article, with its deep background, useful information and generally high quality were about a school, I'd probably wouldn't object to keeping this. But it isn't, so I do. Delete. Chris 19:56, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
A revealing question on User_talk:Cdc#Just_wanted_to_ask_a_question from User:DVDGuy--Henrygb 21:27, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC):
Hello, this is the author of the DEUD article, which was recently put on the consideration for deletion list. I have a few questions.

Is it against Wikipedia policy to report for informational purposes stories that have been written by authors if they have not as yet been published?

If so, should the story be submitted to Wikibooks, so that it can be considered published material on the Web?
Delete not yet published. To answer the questions: Wikis are not a vehicle for self-promotion. Mgm|^(talk) 22:04, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)
Comment: I believe wikisource would take it, but that wouldn't be enough to get it covered in wikipedia. Kappa 22:27, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Delete this and David Eckert, too. Vanity. And I don't think Wikisource takes fiction. I'm not sure about Wikibooks, but I don't think they do, either. Rick K 00:22, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)
