Has been deleted in an earlier discussion. Still doesn't meet WP:CREATIVE. bender235 (talk) 18:24, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. I would rather have seen the author take this to WP:DRV rather than just recreate it - it is only a few months since the first AfD closed as delete. That aside, the significant reviews cited in the article which now exist mean that WP:CREATIVE #4c: "has won significant critical attention" has been met.

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:29, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. My apologies for not following standard protocol; I'm still new to this and learning. What I can say is this: the book received significant (and, for what it's worth, very positive) reviews in the New York Times and Washington Post, among many other newspapers. That seems to me squarely in line with "having won sigificant critical attention." Numkinface (talk)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep Methods aside, clearly notable and cited. Dennis Brown (talk) 12:56, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
