The result was delete. Seems like we have a consensus that coronavirus notwithstanding, the article topic still needs attention from reliable sources that are independent from the subject and doesn't currently have them. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 06:25, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The pandemic delayed the official launch of the book, but this does not mean that more press on the book will not be forthcoming. It is simply less organized and more difficult to find. And she does not "run" the website you are talking about. GPL93, why are you espousing false information? Nina07011960 (talk) 18:50, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nina Kennedy contributes to the blogs and websites, but she does not run it. The publisher was unable to send adequate press materials because of the pandemic. We are playing a game of catch-up. Surely you're not holding that against her. Nina07011960 (talk) 19:23, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WP:COI declaration and you must refrain from making direct edits related to Nina Kennedy in general. Best, GPL93 (talk) 20:01, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply

Also who exactly is "we"? Best, GPL93 (talk) 20:06, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So you mean to tell me that there have been no adjustments made around the pandemic. Nina07011960 (talk) 20:31, 17 May 2020 (UTC) Plus, Nina Kennedy hosts the show that INFEMNITY produces. She does not own the company. Nina07011960 (talk) 20:33, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, acccording to LinkedIn, Infemnity has two employees, one of whom is Nina Kennedy (creative director).https://www.linkedin.com/company/infemnity-productions

As I said, no adjustments around a GLOBAL PANDEMIC????? Nina07011960 (talk) 20:47, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why would there be? This is not a web host or a marketing tool this is an encyclopedia of notable topics. Why would we make exceptions and add non-notable topics? GPL93 (talk) 20:48, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A third time, please disclose your relationship to Nina Gamble Kennedy. You were warned over two years ago by two different editors (Largoplazo and DESiegel) about COI editing and since then you have made HUNDREDs of COI edits and made no COI disclosure. GPL93 (talk) 20:52, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@DiamondRemley39 and GPL93: Articles about Books are out-of-scope for A7. G11 might apply, but since the AfD has been started and views have been expressed, I would advise letting it run, then there is a clear established consensus -- much harder to overturn than a speedy.

  • Delete unless multiple
    reliable sources are found and cited. I looked and did not find any. There should be no prejudice against later recreation if proper sources to demonstrate notability become available later. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 04:37, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply

If you delete this article, you will be contributing to the lack of diversity on Wikipedia. One would be left to conclude that this lack of diversity is intentional and deliberate. [1] Nina07011960 (talk) 15:04, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nina07011960 the only thing that has been deliberate and intentional is your using Wikipedia a means of boosting your own profile in spite of multiple warnings not to do so. There is absolutely no evidence that this subject meets any notability criteria. GPL93 (talk) 15:44, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
notable work, as Wikipedia uses that term, we will be happy to have an article about it. Note, it is very rare that a just released work is already notable, although it sometimes happens. When an if there is in-depth independent coverage in reliable sources of this work, there can be an article about it, and not until then. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 15:49, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply

Note: This is not the first time Nina07011960 has accused the Wikipedia community of disrespecting diversity while doubting an article on a product she is trying to promote. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matthew Kennedy: One Man's Journey. My assessment is that the accusation has been made in bad faith. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 23:29, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
