A Future Not Far

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unreferenced, no assertion of notability per Notability (books), can't find any mention of it online. Proposed deletion contested without comment by article's creator, who is also the author of the book. Gurt Posh (talk) 11:24, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. I agree that the article has failed to meet the notability requirement. Completely unreferenced and difficult to find any reference or information about mentioned book online. Jacob-Dang  — Preceding unsigned comment added by JacobDang (talk • contribs) 13:47, 17 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Don't delete. I disagree, it is simply a book which is still waiting to be published. 90.213.74.81 (talk) 17:08, 19 July 2011 (UTC) — 90.213.74.81 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * If it hasn't been published yet, then how is it notable? Gurt Posh (talk) 10:21, 20 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete WP:RS is not optional. Possibly COI issues. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:12, 23 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete Per WP:INDY, "Any article on a topic is required to cite a reliable source independent of the topic itself, to warrant that an article on the topic can be written from a neutral point of view and not contain original research." Additionally, almost all of the editing of the article has been done by the author of the book in question; see WP:COI, and I think the policies on someone writing/editing their own bio are also applicable (see WP:BLPEDIT).

 * Speedy Delete Per G11. WP:CRYSTAL and self-promotion. No assertion of general notability, no independent sources, and article is written as promotion of a book not yet published, by the author, so WP:COI. Fails every section of WP:NBOOK. BusterD (talk) 16:34, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
