No evidence of any notability for this very recent book. Appears to be a promotional flyer. The refs appear to be self referential. Nothing that is independent and reliable to give any notability to the book itself. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk   21:14, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Frankly, stridently self-promotional article copy. I don't believe there are any independent reviews of this work, and suspect that even the "academic" reviews quoted in the article are solicited, rather than stemming from an actual review in the conventional sense. Additionally, this is essentially a self-published work. The publisher, Praan Uitgeverij (Praan Group), conveniently comprises the author list. I don't think this is in G11 territory, but its nowhere close to meeting WP:NBOOK. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 21:31, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I realize that some aspects of Wikipedia's culture can be surprising. In order to "count" towards what the project calls notability, reviews and other discussions of a subject need to be independent of the subject, and published in a reliable source. The reviews and quotes given in the article at this time are all published in the book; they are not independent of it. Ideally, for this sort of subject, we'd be looking for literature reviews in peer reviewed journal articles, or discussions of the book in comparable works by recognized publishers. In this case, the book is very recently published. Perhaps there simply has not been time for those sorts of sources to be published. However, if appropriate sources don't exist yet, then it may simply be too soon for the article to exist as well. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 22:42, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do Not Delete. These reviews are by very prominent people in the Netherlands. Example, Jos de Blok, CEO of the largest home health care company in the Netherlands. The fact that these people have reviewed makes this book significant. Second Example, Professor Mathieu Weggeman is a leading scholar on the topic of organisational innovation (subject of the book). These people do not lend their name just like that. I understand the concerns of self-references, but I am sure many people in the Netherlands would come up with more references in the coming days. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Teenupnaarp (talkcontribs) 21:46, 31 May 2017 (UTC) Teenupnaarp (talk contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
