Alcohol (novel)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article was previously proposed for deletion by another editor on grounds "No evidence this meets Notability (books)." The Prod was removed by the article creator (whose edit history is entirely related to this book and its author) without comment, immediately after adding a large plot synopsis. However having a plot does not in itself make a book notable and it remains the situation that the only reference is one listing mention in The Hindu, so I am bringing this to AfD on the same grounds as the previous Prod.

 * Delete. There's no in-depth coverage of this book. The mention in the Hindu is only a one-line mention and not anything that would show notability in the slightest. Other than that, there are no other sources out there that would show notability for this book that are both independent and reliable.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 08:40, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - I can find no significant coverage about the book in reliable sources. The Hindu item was just a listing of stuff that was released with no critical information beyond being a simple directory entry.  If as claimed above, the novel is becoming popular, then there may be coverage in reliable sources in the future, and then would be the time for creating this article. -- Whpq (talk) 17:51, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
