[edit] God is Dead
Fails Wikipedia:Notability (books). —Caesura(t) 20:02, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Could you elaborate which points? Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 20:03, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment — Based just on what is written in the article, I'd have to say all of them. There are no sources cited, no awards listed, no evidence that it is used in schools or that it has a movie adaptation, and I don't recognize the author. Nothing about the current article screams out that this is a notable work. So, personally, I can't really support a keep at this point. — RJH (talk) 20:14, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
- Meets the treshold standards for Wikipedia:Notability (books), Awards, not really big, [1], and many sources can be found with google, which need to be sorted out to actualy reference things. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 20:20, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

- Keep plenty of references available, book is even on CD at independents. Article needs work, not deletion. Author meets BIO, book meets NOTABILITY. Pharmboy (talk) 20:13, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment. The page about the book under discussion really needs to make some kind of acknowledgment of the page "God is dead", the better known announcement by Friedrich Nietzsche as seen in Time magazine. Most people who search for this are likely looking for Nietzsche's revelation rather than this book. If this content is deleted, the page should redirect there. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 20:39, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
- Strong keep Easily meets
WP:BIOWP:BK, his book has been reviewed in the San Francisco Chronicle here,and the Guardian here. I also found reference to a review that appeared in the LA Times in July 2007, but its no longer available for free. (BTW, I entered the identical text on the Afd for the author). Xymmax (talk) 21:43, 27 November 2007 (UTC) - Keep As I still haven't heard which parts of Wikipedia:Notability (books) it supposedly fails. Caesura, maybe it's time to withdraw this AfD? Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 21:46, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
- Withdraw nomination. Sorry, guess I didn't do my homework to ensure the work was non-notable. No point in waiting for this AfD to close. Lesson learned. —Caesura(t) 22:55, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
