Having a Great Birth in Australia

I don't see it meeting any criteria of WP:NBOOK or WP:GNG. LibStar (talk) 05:27, 23 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete This appears to not meet WP:NBOOK and does not seem to be a significant work. QuintinK (talk) 07:49, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep 2 book reviews already cited, didn't even need to look for more, passes NBOOK on the basis of what's already there. Jclemens (talk) 19:49, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete I fixed the link to the AIMS journal review, and it's a solid resource. The book listed here cites the Vernon book but says almost nothing about it - just one sentence that links to the book in the bibliography, but doesn't name it in the text. I cannot find the other book review on the site that presumably hosts it. Not visible in any WorldCat libraries. I also note that it was published by a professional organization, "Australian College of Midwives" so it would be considered pretty niche. Lamona (talk) 19:13, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Having a baby is pretty universal. Liz Read! Talk! 06:21, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep Foreword is by Sally Tracy and afterword is by a director of obstetrics; midwife-assisted labor and delivery is now commonly offered in major hospitals for low-risk births. Study of outcomes show excellent results from midwife v doctor for avoiding C-section, episiotomy, etc. It's not a niche. jengod (talk) 05:38, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

 * This source briefly discusses it also: . The peer-review journal is pretty solid, I'd prefer another book review before we ! keep it though. Not so much that the book is niche, but it's still a book; we've usually asked for two solid book reviews at AfD. We've got one and maybe two partially ok sources.
