 * -Scholar google search for the author gives 51 hits.- Scholar google search for the book gives 21 hits (straight 18 + 3 for "non art" rather than "nonart").- Those numbers are respectable and in my opinion the article should not be deleted. Ykantor (talk) 19:26, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * The number of hits of the author has no influence on the notability of the book.
