Handbook of Green Chemistry

This book has not yet been published and for that reason is unlikely to be notable. Also, the article reads like an advertisement.  Sandstein  11:36, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Books need to have significant verifiable impact to be notable, and that usually necessitates the existence of the book. --Itub (talk) 12:15, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Though it's a borderline case, it's still an article in violation of WP:CRYSTAL which disallows speculation. - Mgm|(talk) 12:18, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Violates WP:CRYSTAL. Also considering that it falls under notability of books, the article does not provide any significance of the book in the related area. LeaveSleaves talk 12:47, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Might well become notable in the future, after it is published, but for now violates WP:CRYSTAL and does not pass WP:BK either. No independent academic reviews yet or other evidence of having influenced academic research. For those doing googlesearching, please note that there is another book with a similar title, called "Handbook of Green Chemistry and Technology", that was published in 2002 and that can be easily confused with this one.

 * Delete as violation of basic policy. Not-yet notable. Elucidate (parlez à moi) Ici pour humor 07:09, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
