Dragon Baseball: Bringing the Major Leagues to the Garden State

 * Delete as advertising. Yet-to-be-published book is not notable (unless written by a notable author.)  This article makes no claim about the author at all.  WP:NOT a crystal ball, either.  lowercase  15:33, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. The page is new.  Just fill in the author's name.  I like to watch baseball 17:14, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Note The above user is the original creator of this article, along with the NJ Dragons article (see below), and has been warned about vandalizing other baseball-related articles. -- Kicking222 17:15, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Lowercase clams this page is an ad. I vote keep because wikipedia has a lot of other articles about future books. Axiomm 16:25, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Strong, STRONG delete First of all, we already AfD'd (and deleted) the fictional team from this book here. NOTE: THIS CONTENT HAS BEEN REPOSTED, AND SHOULD ALSO BE DELETED- SEE NJ Dragons. Secondly, WP:NOT a crystal ball. Third of all, the article dadmits that the book is self-copywrighted, meaning it's almost certainly self-published as well. The external links to "Amazon" and "Fantasy Baseball" don't go to, say, the Amazon listing of this book- there is no Amazon listing of this book. Meanwhile, the fantasy baseball link just goes to fantasybaseball.com, which is obviously unimportant to the article. Despite ALL of this damning evidence, I would theoretically vote keep if the author of the book was notable- which, of course, he isn't. Oh, and finally, "Dragon Baseball: Bringing the Major Leagues to the Garden State" gets ZERO Google hits. -- Kicking222 17:12, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Note After putting the prod tag on the NJ Dragons article, it was deleted as a repost of previously-deleted material. -- Kicking222 17:21, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
