Fails WP:GNG and I have a distinct impression that there is a conflict of interest concerning the creator, given that virtually all their edits across all articles relate to this book and its author. Sitush (talk) 16:27, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. A 2013 book on this topic of a not-so-popular writer could hardly be notable this early. Someone from The Hindu has taken efforts of printing a quote that appears in this book. Even if the book is actually notable and if many other authors do take references from here in future, the notability of it might increase. As of now, its WP:TOOSOON to call it notable and warrent separate article. §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 04:55, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice. The book review in The Hindu linked above is the only independent, non-trivial coverage of the book I can find. The notability guideline for books requires multiple sources of such coverage. I would support recreation if and when more coverage emerges. It's a new book, so that's plausible. Userfication may be an acceptable alternative. Lagrange613 08:26, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Currently, this is little more than basic research. I'd delete per Lagrange. Bearian (talk) 20:58, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
