Non-notable book by (now deleted) non-notable author. Rodhullandemu 22:22, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
DeleteAs Wikipedia is not considered a reliable source, and as Wikipedia is the only g-hit for this book, I would consider it non-notable. There is one outside g-hit for the author - his resume (well, I presume it's his...). This doesn't mention the book. I can't even blame lulu this time - they do get g-hits. Whichever way this has been published, it can't be selling very well - unless there are grave errors in the title and author's name given here. If it were not for the resume, I would have seriously thought there was an error, but that shows the existence of the name in this form. 'Chris Allight' gives a little more - but seemingly no book and nothing that could be considered reliable anyway. I'm almost inclined to go for a speedy as 'hoax'.

- Speedy delete Nice work there. No wonder I couldn't find it - published December 12, 2010 and still doesn't come up on Google over here. Changing to speedy delete as pure spam. Only a book by someone like J.K.Rowling or Prince Charles could achieve notability that soon. (They'd probably be notable before the publication date anyway...)

- It does come up now - with an apparent publicity campaign starting in blogspot and such. Not that there's anything wrong with that - that's how you can get sales. But not on Wikipedia. That's not what we are about. Peridon (talk) 21:08, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
