Dystopia (book)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

In my opinion, this is not notable enough per Wikipedia's notability guidelines on books (WP:NB). The author doesn't appear to be notable enough for his own article (was deleted in 2019) - and I can't find any independent sources for either the book or the author. Thsoe current sources on the page are mostly references to the book itself, or websites advertising/selling the book (see WP:BOOKSTORE).  Seagull123  Φ  15:16, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Draftify - I agree that there is currently no coverage of the book in reliable sources. However, it just was released in e-book format, and won't be released in physical form for another month, so it could simply be a case of being WP:TOOSOON.  Sending it back to draft until its actual full release might be helpful, to see if any reviews in reliable sources wind up coming out in the near future.  Rorshacma (talk) 16:26, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Draftify. Agree with above, reliable sources are hard to find. In Google books, the author tells, "reading the book might feel so fragmented"... and I think this book needs more time and responses from his peers in the town planning field.--Whiteguru (talk) 08:27, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Draftify per all of the above Olaf Kosinsky (talk) 13:17, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
