A tag has been placed on The Divinity Saga Series by Susan Reid, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic.

Notability (and advice)

I'm afraid that until you show that this series is notable (WP:NBOOK) with reliable independent sources, the articles will be deleted. The first book is self-published, and few self-published books achieve the notability to get a Wikipedia article. Having said that, not all books published by regular publishers get articles. They stand a better chance of gaining the widespread coverage we require because they can publicise their books better than self-publishers can, and because they have editors who check the books before publishing for potential, and who give help in improving the books too. Self-publishers don't get this professional aid. I advise self-published authors to keep on trying the regular publishers, and to keep trying to find the back door way of getting their book read by the publisher. Harry Potter wasn't published by the first publishing house it was submitted to. Nor by quite a few more, who will have been regretting their decisions ever since... Good luck, anyway.
