Dertogada

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Like the current deletion nomination for the author, available here, the subject of this article appears to lack sufficient notability to warrant a standalone article. The first reference link no longer points to the article's subject, but when it did, it was probably a listing for purchase on the distributor's website. The second reference is also a void, and the entire domain has since closed down. Given the murky nature of the notability claim for the author, the fact that even on the Amharic Wikipedia the article on this subject has no references, and the otherwise unknown nature of its claim to notability, I think it probably needs to be deleted from the mainspace unless someone can produce some independent, reliable, non-trivial references in either English or Amharic.

 * As follow-up, the article on the author of this book, Yismake Worku, has now been deleted twice, once on July 26, 2012 under CSD A7 and once under regular deletion three years later. The author of the book has linked to this article through his Facebook page here. While it might appear from this or this that the book has been the subject of some independent scholarly work, the publisher of both pieces is Lambert Academic Publishing which specializes in reprinting Wikipedia articles and selling them.

 * Comment I'm getting the idea that this article is a translation. This is another AfD which needs someone who knows this language! --MurderByDeadcopy"bang!" 03:08, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Weak delete It's clear there is a translator for this version so there may not be English language sources. The single source provided is not a reliable source and unfortunately there aren't any reliable sources I can find either. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:44, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
