 * Keep. Notable contributors such as Amory Lovins and Joseph Romm have written chapters in this book. Johnfos (talk) 05:04, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * So? How does that contribute to the notability? Or are you claiming that they are such overwhelmingly important people that anything they write is notable? RayAYang (talk) 05:15, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. There are scholarly reviews for this book here and here. Johnfos (talk) 05:42, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep + retitle Per Johnfos. The notability of this book doesn't appear to be problematic. Ecoleetage (talk) 06:34, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * keep+retitle. In addition to the reviews Johnfos mentions, the book was backed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory and published by Springer, a heavyweight scientific publisher. However I'd rename the article using the book's full title Energy and American Society – Thirteen Myths, as Energy and American Society is too broad, e.g. it might be used to sum up analyses of energy consumption in the USA, history of energy usage and links to other social trends such as women's lib, policies, academic analyses, public attitudes, etc. --Philcha (talk) 10:58, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename if the claims of being backed by notable sources as said by User:Philcha are true and accurate. RingtailedFox • Talk • Contribs 23:42, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
