The result was   delete. The article author's promise of a marketing campaign arouses a suspicion that this article is intended as part of it; but in any case, a future marketing campaign and a single reference in a local paper do not establishe notability to the standard of WP:BK.

no indication of how this might meet notability guidelines. Lacks any references to 3rd party sources. The only Google hits I'm finding are to book sale sites. RadioFan (talk) 04:22, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Although I was able to find it on Google Books, I had similar difficulty trying to find any 3rd party coverage of the book or the author. The article is similarly devoid of references, pointing out where the book can be bought but not where it's mentioned. I couldn't even find an independent review, reliable or not. Therefore, I'd say that it clearly fails WP:NB. &mdash; Ledgend  Gamer  09:17, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. I've taken the liberty of adding a link to newspaper blurb with reviews and there will be a marketing campaign in the next several weeks from the publisher. (this message was copied from here)


 * Comment a single newspaper article does do much to establish notability here. A marketing campaign also doesn't help estalish notability either. RadioFan (talk) 18:58, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
