An imperial affliction

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Not notable. Sources are passing mentions. Originally PRODed, rm by creator, at that time even the article said " the book has gained little popularity. Only one printing was ever made and fewer of those still survive." Dennis Brown (talk) 23:48, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Note While I try to always assume good faith, the article was created with the tags {pp-semi-protected|small=yes}, {pp-move-indef} and {Good article}, which looks rather odd, to say the least. Not a reason to delete, but interesting nonetheless.  Dennis Brown (talk) 23:50, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

 * 20-Mule-Team Delete: No assertion of notability, never mind any evidence of the same. Zero hits on a G-Books search of the title with the alleged author's name.  I expect this is a hoax.  Ravenswing  00:20, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * 40-Elephant-Circus-Parade-Manure-Pile Delete for sheer pretentious gall, plus bonus points for the illiterate phrase trails and tribulations. In the meantime I've cut some excess verbiage.  EEng (talk) 01:52, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * G3 speedy delete this Wikipedia affliction. Zero ghits for this "book". Clarityfiend (talk) 01:33, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not meet WP:V and there is no assertion which could be construed as meeting WP:N   Blue Rasberry    (talk)   18:36, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete-at-the-speed-of-light. No notability, no ghits, nothing to show that this merits an article. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:56, 3 November 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79


 * Delete - According to a comment on Talk:An imperial affliction, this is a "book" in a book that that has yet to be released. -- Whpq (talk) 14:12, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
