==Spirit and Resistance: Political Theology and American Indian Liberation==

I have added a "{{

prod}}" template to the article Spirit and Resistance: Political Theology and American Indian Liberation, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

My reply to your comments left on the article's talkpage:
  • 1)The book is relatively new and has not yet caught the attention of academia - please see
    Wikipedia is not a crystal ball
    . I accept that the book may well receive such academic recognition in the future, but Wikipedia's business is not to predict what may happen - it's to document the present.
  • 2)The originality and radical nature of the book demands that it be presented to a wider audience - Wikipedia isn't the place to obtain free publicity. Please read
    WP:NOT
    .
  • 3)The article fills a need in Wikipedia for articles on Native American Liberation Theology - that's a fair point, and it's true to say that Wikipedia has a systemic bias against certain fields. However, please bear in mind that articles can't be added purely to balance such a systemic bias; the same
    notability standards
    apply equally to all articles.
I apologise if my comments come over as more aggressive than I intend. For what it's worth, I can tell that you're a contributor who's genuinely trying to improve the encyclopedia - and in a couple of years, when it's been reviewed and becomes famous, this book will probably merit an article. Obviously, if you can provide third-party sources now (a couple of online reviews would be sufficient) then it deserves to stay. You were within your rights to remove the prod notice, and I'll wait a couple of weeks for you to improve the article, before (if necessary) adding an
articles-for-deletion notice. If you add the third-party sources, it can stay. Walton monarchist89 11:01, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply

Question from my talk page

It is hard to keep articles about new books in Wikipedia. Your best bet is to cite some book reviews, if any exist. If reviews don't exist yet, the article will almost certainly get deleted. However, you can easily save a personal copy for later uploading (after the reviews have happened, for example) in your sandbox. That way you don't lose your work from the deletion, and you can continue working on the article and improving it while waiting for reviews to come in.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:0800636813h.jpg)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media
).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 08:27, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
