The young commentator

Non-notable book written and self-published by a non-notable author. The author's intentions are good (trying to spur an increase in reading among African youth), but that alone does not make him or his book notable. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 12:00, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I found four articles about him on AllAfrica.com, three of which mentioned the book briefly. Not enough to satisfy WP:NB yet. Moswento ^talky 08:07, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
