Non-notable self-published book with 88 google hits. Damiens .rf 19:06, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Per WP:Novels criteria. Z enlax  T C S 19:08, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete insignificant. DJ Clayworth (talk) 19:17, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: To my surprise, those 88 g-hits includes some useful ones, including notice from USA Today. This seems to squeek by WP:BK with a free-throw in the last second. —Quasirandom (talk) 21:20, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: The author is wiki-Notable... The novel was reviewed by USA Today and a few other newspapers... and the novel was promoted by notable coach Bob Knight. Frog47 (talk) 13:32, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Quasirandom's articles highlighted above show multiple coverage, so it meets the first criteria of WP:Novels. Additionally, Frog47's points are valid in that this is the first work by an otherwise already notable author. Gdavid3 (talk) 19:06, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is probably safe to say that most self-published books don't fall under the umbrella of Wikipedia notability, but this is surely an exception to such a rule.  (jarbarf) (talk) 21:05, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
