[edit] The End of Iraq

The End of Iraq (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Wholly POV, a self-proclaimed book review that is unfortunately not appropriate for an encyclopedia. Esprit15d (talk ¤ contribs) 18:33, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. Kudos to the page's author for citing stuff, though... --Miskwito 18:37, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak keep but only if rewritten to be more of an NPOV article on the book. The book appears notable enough and therefore should have an article, but the article needs to be changed so that it's no longer an essay or book review. 23skidoo 20:12, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per reasons above. Its Amazon sales rank is 15,825 in books. - PoliticalJunkie 20:59, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as an advert. Can we go db-spam on this one? I'd be all for a speedy here. --Dennisthe2 21:23, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Rewrite entirely, removing commentary on the book and the author and Move to a less POV name, perhaps “Controversy of America in Iraq”, if no better merge target exists. The book seems to not have sufficient secondary sources for it to be the subject of an article, but it looks to be a useful secondary source. SmokeyJoe 23:54, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
