  • I think you need to review WP:CSD#G11, which unquestionably applies to this article. Also, this article should not have been placed here as a procedural listing as the original reason for deletion was advertizing, which is not a reason for listing in AFD, even for procedural reasons. However, I have added valid AFD reasons below. Crazysuit 05:00, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - I originally tagged this non-notable book for speedy deletion as an advert using CSD G11, which is for Pages which exclusively promote a company, product, group, service, or person and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. This article is book promotion from beginning to end I have no idea how this cannot be considered an advert, containing phrases such as; "an edgy satirical novel", "pacy, action-packed modern thriller", "could not be more pertinent", "the book published in 2006, is being enjoyed by boys and girls, and men and women of all ages", "taken up by fans of cyber-punk and sci-fi", "Listen to the great British actor, Martin Jarvis, give a wickedly mischievous reading". And I haven't even got to the selected press quotes.
Anyway, forget the blatant advertizing, this is a Non-notable book; "The Sticky Rock Café" + "Susie Cornfield" gives 87 Ghits, which are booksellers. Article was created by SkeaterMedia whose only other edits have been starting other articles related to Susie Cornfield and her non-notable books. At least now this makes a set with the previous 3 articles. Crazysuit 05:00, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete G11 is valid in this case, especially in light of its creator. Phony Saint 05:45, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment, I've rewritten for now, but I haven't been able to find any reviews in Google. That doesn't mean they don't exist - and, for a Garret novel, they're likely to - but I suggest if people have access to literary reviews for the UK to check that out. Or, tell me where to look and I'll do the legwork. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:34, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
