The article Peter Gillman has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Mhiji 23:27, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Status and Advice

[edit]

As reviewing administrator, I removed the deletion tags, & expanded it into the sort of article you should have written in the first place. The article will stand, to have multiple books translated into multiple languages usually indicate notability; but it will escape all question if you add references to some of the published reviews of the books. I'm leaving that part to you. I advise you to do this very quickly, before the article gets nominated for deletion by a regular deletion process by someone who does not understand.

Hello, this is Peter Gillman. I have only just seen that you have been discussing my Wiki entry. Thank you for your comments and I will aim to improve the entry with your guidelines in mind. I did try to correct a problem, namely that the link to our article about Truman Capote took you to defunct website. I tried to insert another link to the article but could not make it active. I have sought advice about this but so far have not corrected the problem. I noted the suggestion about an entry for Peter and Leni Gillman (we are a married working partnership) and we will give that our active consideration. With thanks again. Hello again. I have just seen a comment by another editor that I am not supposed to be adding material to my own entry. Instead I should post it in the Talk page and someone else will help me add it. Is that correct? For example, I want to add that our book The Wildest Dream won the Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature in 2000. I can provide a link for that: http://www.boardmantasker.com/boardman-tasker-award-winners. I also want to add that in 2015 our book Extreme Eiger won the Book Award in the annual Awards for Excellence made by the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild. Link here: https://www.owpg.org.uk/memberspages/owpg-awards/historic-owpg-awards-for-excellence-winners/ So can I add these details and references myself, assuming I can work out how to post a link?
