from VfD:

Advert for a non-notable literary anthology (Amazon sales rank of 481,375). The things you find with random page... RadicalSubversiv E 19:39, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)


 * Obvious Delete - Sad to see in the history that mid-August, somebody took a few minutes of his time to solve a problem of homonymy on one of the names quoted there... But ten months alive are definitely enough for this article --French Tourist 19:48, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Weak as water keep: The book made a small splash when it was published, and it's certainly done by a prestigious house.  I'm suspicious of the article and whether it's copyvio or not (the long Kirkus review is a typical book website thing, as general readers aren't often reading Kirkus).  However, the book is moderately notable, although it could be merged into a larger, more accessible article on voices of the disenfranchised and documentary prose. Geogre 03:17, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep, its published by a notable publisher, but is not a topical best-seller. If it is a copyvio, report it though. &mdash; siro  &chi;  o  20:42, Oct 17, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: nonnotable, advert. Wile E. Heresiarch 22:15, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Should be checked for possible copyvio.  Beyond that, it's a substantial enough look at the book to justify keeping it. Gamaliel 23:05, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)
