Christ: the dark years

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

We are not told, but I assume this is a book. It is being promoted by its author and no evidence of notability is offered. &mdash; RHaworth 17:42, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence found for notability. Clear COI as article started by the writer of the book. Quantpole (talk) 19:39, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this book. Joe Chill (talk) 21:51, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per Quantpole. Looking at this article & the nomination, I find it hard to add anything more than a "me too": it's an obvious case for delete. (Well, maybe I can figure out how to add a joke about the new book: Christ: The nightclub years.) -- llywrch (talk) 16:45, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - a specified Google search reveals only five commercial sites on Ghits, and broader searches reveal lots of blogs and online stores. Zero reliable sources and no reviews to prove this book is notable. Bearian (talk) 18:51, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Original research about a book based on original research. From the article "the author makes no attempt to cite his sources".  I recognize that it's a new contributor, and it's possible that there may have been some significant coverage about responses to someone's (blasphemous? silly?) attempt to make up stuff about Jesus "during the years that are not included in the Bible", but a book has to be notable in comparison to other books.

 * Delete No sources, no indication of notability, and appears to be an attempt at self-promotion. Edward321 (talk) 23:27, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete -- unless the book has some literary merit as fiction, the article deals with the author of the book's invention about Christ. The creator is Brianddiederich, whose name is identical with the book's author.  Accordingly there is conflict of interest.  The book is original research, since the author has provided an article on his own book, it is also WP:OR or something very close to that.  Accordingly it also fails as WP:ADVERT.
