This is a page for a current author who has a book published and is trying to sign with an agent. It was not made by the author and the references will be added on shortly. Chillin12534 (talk) 17:26, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Trying to sing with an agent" is not a reason for inclusion in Wikipedia. If the author meets our notability criteria the article will likely be kept, however we are not here to promote any particular individual or to help an author in their search for an agent.--Jezebel'sPonyo ^shhh 17:34, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reference link

I cannot seem to get the Buffulo News article url to display correctly in the reference section (perhaps due to its length). For reference it can be found at: http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=BN&p_theme=bn&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_field_label-0=Author&s_dispstring=Brandon%20Stickney&p_field_date-0=YMD_date&p_params_date-0=date:B,E&p_text_date-0=2009&p_field_advanced-0=&p_text_advanced-0=("Brandon%20Stickney")&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&xcal_useweights=no Jezebel'sPonyo ^shhh 17:34, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BLP hidden bit

@A. B.: Have you read the source and ascertained it really does refer to Stickney? I can't access it beyond the title. Espresso Addict (talk) 00:28, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It’s paywalled so I didn’t see much either but the photo caption says “Author and former inmate Brandon Stickney holds his old prison ID card.”

Mr. Stickney’s prison time is a central part of his story - he wrote a book about it.

Thanks for your caution with BLPs!

Thanks, A. B. -- I didn't even get that, just the title. Suggest if you want to restore, you add in the source inline immediately after the fragment. (As an admin advocating for keeping a biographical article where I'd agree the subject is of borderline notability, I am aware that the AfD discussion draws attention within the community and also in the wider world, so best to make sure the article isn't harmful, even if it's a bit over the top.)
