I Demand My Wikipedia Page Part Trois

Well, we seem to be surviving:

Jeff Somers – Wikipedia

Jeff Somers is an American science fiction author from New Jersey. Since 1995, Somers has published his zine The Inner Swine and has been a prolific contributor to alt.zines. The 21st century has seen Somers’s transformation from an observational essayist into a science fiction writer of no small talent, “a gifted craftsman” with a “funky wit.”

Although we’re marked for “speedy deletion, whis is worrying. DAMN THEIR EYES. We will triumph. Um, won’t we?

I think there may have been a second page that folks were editing, so if that’s the case, I’m sorry, but THAT page, the one you were working on, appears to have bitten the dust.

Onward! I owe everyone who works on this a beer. SOmehow I will fly around the world delivering alcohol, I swear.

    Although to be fair its marked for speedy deletion on the basis of not meeting the “notability criteria that does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject.”
    Clearly you are too important or significant to have a page at the moment 😉
    Make sure you drop the beers over Newcastle in the Uk 🙂

    GEORGE,

    Point taken. I’ve never claimed to be very notable, only that others, as notable as I, or less so, *do* have WP pages. Thus the unfairness of it all, you know.

    Beers will be dropped. Can’t guarantee they won’t be fizzy when they arrive, though.

    No, you misunderstand me, I wasn’t saying that you aren’t notable…

    What I meant was that the reason for deletion is that you are indeed a notable person and thereby rigorous checks must be undertaken in order to validate accuracy, at least that’s the way I read wikipedias rules.

    However there appears to be at least two entries for you at the moment:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Somers

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Somers

    Result!

    Thanks George–I often misunderstand things. I am easily confused! Looks liek the latter entry is more jokey and will probably get deleted, but the former is STILL THERE and I have high hopes.
