Kitty Norville

It was brought up to me by another editor who saw I was adding something to the Carrie Vaughn page that he had been considering speedy deleting the Kitty Norville page and the pages of all the books that had no content (because though they have some interest, they really are barely notable, compared to the number of things that get deleted around here each day that have much higher profiles). Because I'm fairly high-profile, he knew my name as an inclusionist, and asked me if I thought I could do something to save them.

The speedy deletion would have been a week ago; instead of seeing that I'd moved things, you'd have seen that they'd been deleted, and fan though I am of the series, I know enough about the deletion process here, they would *not* have survived an AfD. There was NO information on the pages; less than you could get by searching Google *without* actually following the links. There's been a pogrom on genre (both SF and romance) books of late, resulting in authors who have 30 books and several awards being deleted for being 'non-notable', and I wanted to avoid that for these interesting, quirky books, which I think are the freshest books in the 'reimagining the werewolves/vampires are here amongst us' urban fantasies in a long time.

It was, yes, informal between editors, and you can feel free to ask for an RfC on it if you think I acted incorrectly. The issue you're going to bring up at that point is that almost no one has ever worked on these articles, they were created and then just sat there for ages; indeed; I did this change 6 days ago and you're the only person to even notice it. The history of the pages is going to indicate to a lot of people (as it did in casual IRC talk) that its not really notable, and there's a good chance people will say the expanded desc of the third book will be deleted and it will all be merged into Carrie Vaughn. I was intending to work on filling out the first two books this weekend, but I was at a convention called Readercon in Burlington, MA, and the internet access in the hotel was down all weekend. --Thespian 09:13, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Furry

Looking for something to do? WikiProject Furry is improving articles on furry and anthropomorphic topics, and we'd like to have you on board.

Our current goal is to raise Anthrocon, furry convention and furry fandom to good article status and beyond - but if that doesn't take your fancy, there are plenty of other articles to work on. Give it a go and let us know how you're doing!

You received this one-time invitation because you are a Furry Wikipedian. GreenReaper 22:33, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You maybe interested in the Article Rescue Squadron

I notice that you are part of Category:Inclusionist_Wikipedians. I would like you to consider joining the Article Rescue Squadron. Rescue Squadron members are focused on rescuing articles for deletion, that might otherwise be lost forever. I think you will find our project matches your vision of Wikipedia.
