[edit] The Phlegethon

self-published by afd nom below, R.W. Hareland, through vanity press, no ghits, Amazon, other reviews or citations Richardjames444 17:20, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Revisit the website for updates. I think this page belongs. The ISBN number and book are valid. The book will be availabe through Amazon on September 20th and in Google books on October 10th. --Robert hareland 18:13, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Having an ISBN is not a criteria for notability. One can get an ISBN by asking for one. Books published through vanity presses are not typically eligible for inclusion in Wikipedia. "Reasonably spread or otherwise well known" "available in bookstores" and "access to online or press published reviews" are some criteria listed in the guidelines linked to from WP:N. If the book is indeed available online in a couple of weeks, I change my vote to Weak Keep Richardjames444 18:15, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

As of September 20th, the book will be available through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Borders. If I have been premature in listing it on Wikipedia, I'll just wait until then.--Robert hareland 20:56, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
