fails WP:NBOOK. hardly any coverage. LibStar (talk) 01:02, 4 November 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:43, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. As a Canadian book about economics, I suspect it wouldn't get many GHits - however, I found a review at Quill and Quire - read here and one at The Globe and Mail, here.  There is also some video coverage on TVOntario, where the author appears on Allan Gregg in conversation with....  here. -Addionne (talk) 14:20, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep. Heath's other books have their own pages, as well as the books he co-wrote with Andrew Potter. This book garnered enough press to warrant its keeping, plus the author is sufficiently notable. - Slugmaster (talk) 20:52, 14 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Uncertain  The information seems inconsistent. Only 92 Worldcat libraries for the Canadian ed, + 50 for an Australian ed., which is surprisingly low, considering it coversCanada fairly well. But there are translations into several languages,   Spanish, Lucro sucio : economía para los que odian el capitalismo, French Sale argent : petit traité d'économie à l'intention des détracteurs du capitalisme , Chinese 脏钱 : 乡民拼经济必GET的学经济指南 , Korean 자본주의를의심하는이들을위한경제학 : '우파는부도덕하고좌파는무능하다??' /  Such are usually considered indications though not proofs of notability. But @Slugmaster, he is nowhere near the very high level of notability  (amounting to "famous" where any book published is automatically notable. And I have not checked checked whether his other books are in fact notable ,    DGG ( talk ) 19:56, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
