Mrs Coverlet's Magicians deletion

Hi Killer Moff! The page on Mrs Coverlet's Magicians has been expanded by another editor to include the other two books in the trilogy (Mrs Coverlet's Detectives and While Mrs Coverlet Was Away) and the reference list now includes FOUR separate articles from the NY Times, one from Boston Globe, and one from NY Herald Tribune. I think that pretty well answers the "not-notable" objection, don't you agree?

Speedy deletion declined: Don Tilley

Hello Killer Moff. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Don Tilley, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Being professor at a notable university or college indicates importance/significance (WP:CCSI#ACADEMIC). Thank you. SoWhy 12:06, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

@SoWhy:, Thanks for clearing that up. I was going with the fact that all references were only to work he published, and nothing about the subject of the article. would you recommend AfD? --Killer Moff (talk) 12:17, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Because academics are seldom covered in traditional reliable sources, their notability is usually hard to decide, which is why I leave that to more specialized editors. WP:NPROF includes some indicators though and if he really is a fellow at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences as [1] claims, I think he passes NPROF #3. You might want to ask a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Science and academia though. Regards SoWhy 12:31, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Harry Gold Deletion

Hello Killer Moff, regarding Harry Gold's page, I have added 5 sources to the page. Sorry for the slow update on these, as I am fairly new to wikipedia editing. Hopefully everything is up to standards now and we don't have to delete this. Thank you! Best, ZDGilanyi13 (talk) 21:42, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
