Hello. No claim of significance but A7 does not apply to books. I am not sure this book has even been released. Thanks and regards, Biwom (talk) 00:18, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. The book is a published by Artech House, a publisher of scientific and engineering books that are found in many academic libraries. Worldcat lists only one library (in Germany) that holds this book, probably because it has been published quite recently. I think the book is probably important to engineers who design antennas, but notability won't be demonstrated until some reviews are published.

• Delete. This is a field in which a huge amount has been published, including numerous books. There is nothing that indicates this one stands out as being particularly notable. I'm sure the author has written a competent book, but there is nothing to show that he is stand-out notable or has a special place in the history of the subject. His citation counts according to Scholar are extremely low. This smacks to me of promotion of a newly published book. SpinningSpark 16:16, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. The book is published and I am see many reference of this book. This is more a practical antenna design book and helpful for designers than a theoretical book as can be see in google book preview (book's content).Naveenchawala18 (talk) 17:59, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • You need to list the "many references" before that is convincing. Note that we require "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" to meet the general notability requirements. The practicality or helpfulness of the book are not considerations used in Wikipedia when deciding whether to keep a page. SpinningSpark 18:47, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete WorldCat includes three books with very similar titles on this subject. One [1] is found in 592 libraries, another [worldcat] in 721. But this particular book [2] is found in only one. DGG ( talk ) 05:07, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep It. This book is the latest and different than other book published on similar subject as it include several modern technologies including 5G and automotive microstrip antenna. Sreyash21 (talk) 18:58, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
