A candle in the Sun

Novel fails to meet the notability requirements of Wikipedia:Notability (books). Self Published book, no reliable sources could be located to establish notability. Captain-tucker (talk) 01:32, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable. Dear editors, is there agreement on books published on lulu? Drmies (talk) 01:45, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment @Drmies No, I wouldn't lump them all on the same pile. I am aware of at least a couple Lulu.com books that could easily meet notability criteria and I'd be able to find more such books I tried. The Pocket and the Pendant, The Didymus Contingency, J.C. Hutchins' Seventh Son (J.C. Hutchins novel), and the best example the books by Scott Sigler (prior to his publishing deal) are all covered extensively in the media which would yield ample references to build off. I would take into account the author (it makes sense to cover the entire bibliography of any authors we cover) and the available sources before writing off any book, self-published or not. - Mgm|(talk) 09:36, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. This entry is an advert, plain and simple. No reliable sources outside the author covered the book at all . - Mgm|(talk) 09:37, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a place for advertising non-notable books.--Caspian blue 05:51, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
