The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was redirect to the author John Rojas, Jr.. After looking at the article, I saw that there was very little content so I see no need to merge any of it. The consensus seems to be that the book is worthy of being mentioned, but that it does not merit a separate article. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:28, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Trees of Chula Vista

Non-notable book about trees in Chula Vista -- Kjkolb 12:31, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, the trees were notable enough for someone to write a book about them. The book is listed at Barnes and Noble [1] . Kappa 15:16, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, too incoherent. Pilatus 16:52, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep I tweaked the article just now. The author was a remarkable local historian and `the book is unique and notable. PS, it was a pleasure to learn more about John Rojas, Jr. Joaquin Murietta 20:27, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
    • At the moment, the article says nothing beyond the fact that the book exists. The book itself is mentioned in the article of the author, so redirect to the author, unless the article expands to tell what is actually in the book. Pilatus 20:37, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not even close. A local historian writes a local-interest (at best) book (Amazon sales ranking: None) about a southern California suburb's trees? This is a worth an encyclopedia article? Wikipedia is not a San Diego library catalog. --Calton | Talk 00:21, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. The book is already mentioned in John Rojas, Jr.. This page is zero-content. "A book exists" and "this guy wrote it" is not an encyclopedia article. Quale 06:23, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to author's page, which wasn't created until after I nominated the book for deletion. -- Kjkolb 11:32, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
