Speedy deletion nomination of Randy Pherson

A tag has been placed on Randy Pherson, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Randy Pherson and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 02:13, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Here's what I left on Who then was a gentleman's talk page; I will be adding to the Randy Pherson and Dick Heuer pages you marked for deletion. Not tonight. In the meantime, please understand that these are highly, highly respected researchers in the fields of neuroscience, cognition, and analysis. To argue that they do not merit inclusion in wikipedia is to argue that these fields of research are unworthy of public attention. And to make that argument is implicitly to say that we deserve repeated intelligence failures that lead to wars and terrorist catastrophes. This is a public interest, not a commercial interest; let's not confuse the two.Sarahmiller8 (talk) 02:39, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Your comment on my Talk page

If this book were so notable, it wouldn't require advertising on the author's own website. If you can find that it's sold, has been reviewed, and is noted at multiple reliable sources, then you should add those sources. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 02:48, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Will do! That's easy! Sarahmiller8 (talk) 02:50, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Both Randy Pherson and Dick Heuer's pages have links to websites selling the books. Also, the new book is being published by Congressional Quarterly Press according to information provided at the recent professional conference for Intelligence Community Educators. It's forthcoming, otherwise I could add that reference now. Sarahmiller8 (talk) 02:57, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Then you should wait until the book is published. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 03:00, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
