Relisting a deletion I mistakenly closed in 2009. No opinion on outcome. TeaDrinker (talk) 03:07, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Back Story I closed the first nomination of this article as a copyvio. Recently, the author of the article pointed out that the book had copied the content from Wikipedia, not the other way around.  I therefore undeleted the article, however since there was an AfD in progress, I have re-opened the issue.  Previously the nomination was by Timneu22  for reason I can see no notability about this topic, and it is an orphan article. I take no position on the deletion other than owning up to my mistake. --TeaDrinker (talk) 03:12, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:NBOOK. Even the few GBooks hits refer back to WP. See also Articles for deletion/Hezekiah M. Washburn. Location (talk) 03:22, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete again. There was a book. That's about it. The book had a sales ranking at Amazon is #3,701,636 and no reviews that we could find. The subject/author was deleted in a separate AfD as not notable. Tough to see how a book about a non-notable person, by a non-notable person can be seen as notable.

 * No objection about deleting for notability issues here (from the original author). I have merged the info into an "Autobiography" section in the article-under-construction for the author here (in my userspace). Thanks, TeaDrinker, for helping me out with clearing the copyvio matter up. --Dygituljunky (talk) 05:06, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
