[edit] In Defense of Global Capitalism

In Defense of Global Capitalism (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Author's subject biography is nominated for deletion, on the basis of failing to meet criteria of notability. Further, as far as this particular article is concerned, a Timbro publication -- or any think tank publication, for that matter -- generally doesn't merit its own article as it's essentially a privately-funded publication, not an academic or even a commercial publication. This article exists as an artificial way to manufacture notability for the book. J.R. Hercules (talk) 03:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep Notable publication on a notable think tank. The think tank itself has notable authors under it as well. Undeath (talk) 03:13, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, although we should have better documentation of the awards and reception. Like it or not this book is all the rage in the libertarian/economic-conservative community and it's trivial to find coverage. --Dhartung | Talk 05:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, definitely notable book that has been the subject of much debate and awards. /Slarre (talk) 06:52, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, notability is established. Janm67 (talk) 09:44, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak keep There appear from the books website to be reviews, but they need to be cited from the original publications involved. Awards are mentioned--but what are they? DGG (talk) 22:48, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
