Appears to fail WP:NOTBOOK. reddogsix (talk) 18:08, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I don't believe this page should be deleted because I have very good sources including being very good friends with the author and also having read this book. Please give me a chance to continue editing this page until it properly meets Wikipedia standards. It would also be very helpful to edit this page and improve it to help create a better encyclopedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AnonymousPersonUserMan (talk • contribs)

Delete as per nom. Not sure who wrote the above comment, but in response to it, editing won't help the article meet Wikipedia's guidelines for notability. Take a look at WP:GNG and in this case, since its a book, WP:NBOOK. They can explain those criteria, and you'll see this book does not appear to meet them. Might be a case of WP:TOOSOON. A [google search turned up only primary hits on the book (mentions by the author or press releases), or mere mentions of the book, such as GoodReads (those second show the book exists, but not that it is notable). A news search only turned up a press release. A google books search was also no help for notability purposes. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 21:39, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NBOOK. Also, clear COI considering that the article creator is, in his own words, "very good friends with the author" Jcmcc (Talk) 01:02, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
