Warning: Soft City lacks WP:A to establish WP:BK
Wikipedia articles must be based on reliable sources to verify any claims of Notability ... without them, an article is just original research, which is prohibited by official policy.

In the opinion of many new Page Patrol editors, articles with absolutely no sources (or only links to unreliable ones like MySpace, Google, and Amazon.com) are prime candidates for speedy deletion on that basis alone.

Please read Wikipedia's official policies and guidelines that contain the specific notability criteria for WP:Notability (books) for further information.

The point is, the article needs to reference multiple published reviews of the book in reliable sources in order to have Verifiability of it's Notability, and currently, it has none.

Happy Editing! — 07:05, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
