[edit] Rich Dad, Poor Dad

Blatant advertising, and the book is already discussed in the page on Robert Kiyosaki. Delete and redirect. fbb_fan 12:46, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. It's currently the #21 bestseller on Amazon, and has led to a long series of sequels. Notable enough for Wikipedia. As far as the page being blatant advertising, that can be fixed with a few edits keeping the NPOV policy in mind. MysteryDog 14:05, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
  • This was a best-selling book; either keep or redirect to Robert Kiyosaki without deleting, I'm undecided as to which. --Metropolitan90 14:05, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. A bit advertise-y, but not too bad. Includes criticism section (albeit unreferenced). Apparently a bestseller per MysteryDog. Powers 14:10, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep Huge bestselling book. If the tone is wrong, that's cause for cleanup, not deletion. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:36, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - very popular book -- Lost 16:26, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep - speedy, if the nominator is willing to withdraw the AfD PT (s-s-s-s) 16:53, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. Given the response so far, I'm willing to withdraw the AfD, with the qualification that the article could use some cleanup to improve NPOV. fbb_fan 17:40, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
  • I tried my hand at it. If you still have issues with it (and I mean this respectfully, not angrily), why don't you try an edit? PT (s-s-s-s) 19:08, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
