[edit] Sins of the State
Self-published book that fails WP:BK, WP:RS, and WP:N. "Coyotephoto," the "publisher," is actually the name of the website of the person who wrote the manuscript [1], and the article was also written by a user named "Coyotephoto," so we have major WP:COI going on here. Coyotephoto is a WP:single-purpose account that appears to serve no function on WP other than commercial promotion--a guy self-publishes a book and then comes here to write a promotional article about it. He also spammed the book into a number of categories here, but those edits have been reverted. Qworty (talk) 22:02, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- Delete Obvious conflict of interest aside, this does not appear to be a notable book -- the author is also a red link and likely to stay a red link. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 22:37, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
