Re: [Gendergap] Novel by Woman-Deletion
Hi Kathleen, The only thing that I can see that is being considered for deletion is the Category:Novels set in Namaqualand (which currently contains only the article for [[October (novel)]]. The article about the novel itself does not seem to be in danger of deletion. How can we help? ~Nathan ___ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap

I am fearful he will put it back. This is the issue--how can a male editor decide a woman's novel is not notable. on what basis? On what basis in Clive Cussler notable? Hi Kathleen, in answer to your question, the notability guideline is the basis by which both male and female editors should assess articles.

That he’s a regular denizen of the bestseller lists in many countries who’s had works adapted into major motion pictures (To be honest, I think we should say that “all published works by authors who have their paperbacks displayed prominently in the racks near the front of bookstores at airports are notable [image: Smile]“). Well, I don't know. I had never heard of Cussler before today (don't spend a lot of time in airport bookshops), but I did look at a couple of his novels' Wikipedia articles, and they didn't indicate significance any better than the October article. (One of them had a single, ephemeral reference; the other had 7 that seemed pretty thin.) I can see how Kathleen would be frustrated by what surely appears from her perspective to be a double standard.
