Dwanyewest 23:49, 5 June 2007 (UTC)This related to Mcjobs its well sourced from credible news sources i feel the person doing this has not read the website links from credible sources[reply]

I don't think the problem is whether the book exists or not, but whether it is notable. The only link currently in the article is to a web-page about the author - but every academic includes their publications on their web-page, that doesn't mean every academic publication is notable; what are required are discussions of the book independent of the author. Has the book been reviewed anywhere, particularly in high-profile publications like the New York Review of Books? Or, has it been discussed in newspaper articles or on TV shows? That's the sort of evidence you would need to provide to show that the book is notable. VoluntarySlave 01:06, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I missed the links at the end of the article - the WSJ review does look like some evidence for notability (the Business Week one too, but to a lesser extent, as Business Week is published by the same company that published the book). VoluntarySlave

[1] The Wall Street Journal reviewed it Dwanyewest 03:20, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Plus it was covered on Foxnews Dwanyewest 03:29, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

POV?[edit]

Presently this doesn't look very neutral: it says that the book 'has had favorable reviews', but quotes only one review. Also the author is described as 'distinguished' but only his length of tenure is cited. A case of weasel words?

Looks like the author's PR people have been busy here. Chump Manbear (talk) 20:45, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
