[edit] The Final Jihad

Delete, conspiracycruft. Fails WP:BK, Amazon.com Sales Rank: #495,645 in Books, multiple unsourced claims. Was proded, deproded on the grounds of “deprod, seems to be a non-vanity book” Brimba 03:13, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete; non-notable conspiracycruft, poorly sourced. --MCB 05:37, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep non-vanity book. I see no reason at all to delete besides people not liking the topic (this is listed on Gabriel's "conspiracy" deletion noticeboard). WP:BK is not a guideline; it is a proposal someone made that does not have consensus. Note that this is a 1996 book, so it's no shock the Amazon rank isn't high. Plenty of today's books with articles will have low sales in 2016. Derex 07:48, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

    Comment you may want to expand this reasoning, it sounds as if you are arguing that Wikipedia should have articles on every published work to date. --NuclearZer0 16:16, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per GabrielF and failing WP:BK. I think the idea behind WP:BK is to prevent books that sell well that vanish forever, books that so easily disappear really arent that notable to deserve an article, this isnt a book repository and there is no reason all books should have an article, especially one written by a non-notable person that has not won any awards or particular publicity. --NuclearZer0 11:22, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per Catchpole: Verifiable published (wholly non-notable) work. Eusebeus 14:13, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Fails WP:BK, in that: (1) the book's author does not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for people, based on his work as a writer; (2) has not been made or adapted with attribution into a motion picture that was released into multiple commercial theatres; (3) has not won a non-trivial literary award; (4) is not taught at multiple grade schools, high schools, universities or post-graduate programs in any particular country;(5) has not been the subject of multiple, independent, non-trivial reviews in works meeting our standards for reliable sources (reviews in periodicals that review thousands of books a year with little regard for notability, such as Publisher's Weekly, Library Journal and Kirkus Reviews do not meet this criterion); and (6) has not been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the book itself, with at least some of these works serving a general audience (this includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries and reviews).

  • Delete per Morton devonshire. BhaiSaab talk 16:08, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete There is no evidence that the book meets WP:BK, and that is the best standard we have thus far for judging it. Existence is not a sufficient basis for inclusion for any type of thing. There is no evidence of reliable sources discussing the book, so no reason to believe it meets WP:N either. GRBerry 19:36, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as I tagged this with notability questions a while back. Arbusto 08:20, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete as nominated and per the points made by Morton devonshire. JungleCat talk/contrib 17:45, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as insufficiently notable and completely lacking in reputable, reliable, third-party sources. -- Satori Son 03:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
