[edit] It's complicated

Wikipedia: Notability (books)#Criteria (modern era). Author removed prod, so moving debate to Afd. SWAdair 06:34, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per my nomination. SWAdair 06:34, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

• AfD is not a vote, so this extra little tidbit was definitely not required (and, as has been repeatedly shown over the past nine months, can be considered detrimental to the process). Also "Author removed prod" is one of those phrases that needs a damn fine reason to appear on AfD, and we don't appear to have such a reason today. fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 14:20, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Apparent copyvio of several sources [1][2], or at the very least plagiarism. I'm not sure whether or not a speedy is possible here, since the content comes from more than one source, so I'll leave that to the experts. tmopkisn ^tlka 07:04, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment, it's not speedy-able because it is not a direct copyright violation. BTW, prod tags were still on article so I removed them as this is now at AfD.--Isotope23 13:10, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

• Not sure what to say except that I am the author of this book and it took me a great time to write, so I wanted to add it on here, there are more then 5 sources you can buy this book from sooo ummm I don't know what to say Also I do have an ISBN. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Baseball83 (talk • contribs).
• Delete: as author is around can I suggest he reads the Criteria linked to above. ISBN number is good but not quite good enough. A couple of published independent reviews would swing it for me. Stephen B Streater 21:57, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Can't establish notability. Also, as the editor claims to be the author, does this not violate WP:VAIN? I asked the editor to show us if the book meets Wikipedia: Notability (books)#Criteria (modern era). :) Dlohcierekim 05:03, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
