The result was delete. I'm kidding of course, it's clearly keep.--Wizardman 03:31, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Day of Deceit
I nominate this article deletion discussion for early closing because all issues seem to have been resolved. --Tony Sidaway 18:38, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
The article does not assert notability. Furthermore, the article is in violation of WP:OR. This reads more like an advertisement than an encyclopedia article. Pablothegreat85 18:42, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

- Withdrawn I think we can make this article work. I believe the article can certainly assert notability as this book is notable. I also think the WP:OR can be taken care of through editing. Pablothegreat85 18:17, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Deleteper WP:N in lieu of additional sources which assert its notability added to the one good one given. Baccyak4H (Yak!) 19:09, 30 March 2007 (UTC)- follow-up comment I tend to agree with Starblind and Tony Sidaway that this particular book's article has potential to be kept on account of notability. I intend to revisit it in a few days and before the discussion closes to see how the article has developed; in particular if editors research and add good sources. It would not surprise me if it is made keepable, but until then I stand by my above comment (feel free to leave a note on my Talk if someone improves the article).

- I added a reference for Tom Roeser's comment. He's a conservative broadcaster, but a very highly qualified one, not just a rent-a-mouth. --Tony Sidaway 01:56, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

- Weak Keep seems to be a fairly major book, and widely reviewed: a Google news search turns up plenty of newspaper reviews, including the Washington Post and Chicago Sun-Times. Starblind 19:28, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. The book has been reviewed by the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Sun-Times, the San Francisco Chronicle and, in the United Kingdom, national daily newspaper The Independent. If a book garners that kind of attention, while it may not be a best-seller, it's not a candidate for deletion from Wikipedia. If there are content problems (the "original research" complaint above, for instance) then they can be solved by editing the article. --Tony Sidaway 00:34, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep the reviews are enough. Independent RSs writing about the book. Further discussion is besides the point. DGG 03:36, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
