 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unencyclopedic review of an NN textbook, no sources, POV and original research issues, possible COI (looking at author's username) Mister Senseless&trade; (Speak - Contributions) 20:44, 29 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong Delete as per nomination as well as: I actually went to PROD this, but I suppose AfD is a better route, especially if the author wishes to argue the point. Either way, I think it's clear that this is a review, not an encyclopedia article, and as such, does not belong in Wikipedia. ~Pip 20:50, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

I was flagging it as a (speedy deletion) university essay when it got flagged here. It is quite a good essay, so far as I can judge, but not an encyclopaedia article. Peridon (talk) 20:50, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, original work that doesn't belong here; a WP:SNOW close might be appropriate. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:48, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
