Day By Day Armageddon

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The book fails all 5 criteria of WP:NBOOK and a large part of the article had been directly taken from the author's preface in the book. A Google search did not turn up any awards for the book or the author, and none of the other 3 criteria of WP:NBOOK have been met. Inks.LWC (talk) 05:56, 4 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete you beat me to this nomination - I find no evidence of notability for the book, nor for the author. He has been interviewed in Kirkus Reviews, but that's not enough on its own to confer notability - and definitely not for the book. --bonadea contributions talk 05:58, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Neutral. This states that it was a best-seller and a cult classic, and this heaps high praise on it. However, neither seems to be a reliable source. Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:57, 4 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - Oped News is not a reliable source. And a careful reading of the Oped article indicates that the novel was not a "bestseller" in the sense that we would use to establish notability.  It was a bestseller relative to other books published by Permuted Press.  It's unclear that antimusic is a reliable source, but in any case, the coverage there is far from substantial, and the assertion that this is has a cult following would need more than just an assertion from this one article. I could not find any such coverage. -- Whpq (talk) 16:56, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
