BICs 4 Derivatives

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

Non-notable book; it may be that the claims made in the book are admissable, but the book itself has received little if any independent attention. Rcawsey (talk) 14:06, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. This book is part of a marketing campaign using Wikipedia as a free web host; see also Articles for deletion/Basis Instrument Contract. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 16:30, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, promotional article of a non-notable book. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 16:48, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

OBJECTION TO THE PROPOSED DELETION: Qualifying the book as non notable is personal and subjective opinion that is hard to justify. In view of the recent crisis, this book has become particularly relevant for the issues at the root of the crisis as well as the prescription to address it. The credibility of the book is independently sourced and properly referenced using the WIPO website at http://www.wipo.int/pctdb/en/wo.jsp?wo=2003107137. the World Intellectual Property Organization is the most authoritative body in the world on intellectual property matters. A review of the International Preliminary Examination report issued Oct 1, 2004 in the documents tab associated with the patent publication WO2003107137 show that all 273 claims made in the application are found admissible as New, involve an Inventive Step and are Industrially Applicable.

It is not a "marketing campaign" but a mere recitation of independently sourced material of the highest credibility Bics (talk) 17:03, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete nonnotable and self-promotional, and I'd ask the author to please stop posting multiple "do not delete" votes. We know your position.  NawlinWiki (talk) 18:17, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete For the author's information, here is where we define notability, for books anyway. I do not see any claim to notability in the article, and see no evidence that the book is notable by the criteria I have cited.  Clear delete candidate.

 * Speedy delete - blatant spam; has tried this before, too. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  20:46, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete (G11) as more spam. See Articles for deletion/Basis Instrument Contract. MuZemike 23:07, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - A PR piece written by a user with a conflict of interest, spam (perhaps G11), no notability. &mdash; neuro  (talk)  13:36, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I can't tell what this article is about. It's about a book about something.  What is that "something"?  I don't know.  It says something about a patent.  What was the invention?  It doesn't say. Michael Hardy (talk) 19:43, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
