Heart Chakra: A story of one man's persuit of happiness.

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Book is not notable, written by non-notable authors, and the article appears to be mainly promotional. The book was published by Lulu (company), which should be indication enough of its lack of notability; furthermore, there are no reliable sources that I could find that say anything about it.

 * Delete/Comment: As more and more authors seem to be using it, being published by Lulu shouldn't be used as a gauge of notability or not. Publishing-on-demand may be the wave of the future. But regardless, the book in question is, in fact, not notable. - The Bushranger Return fire Flank speed 21:44, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Weak keep - the book has reviews in several newspapers. Though regional, that seems to be enough to push the article past notability. I think this is a case of West centric sources laking but Indian ones being available, Sadads (talk) 00:57, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll grant you this one--what other reviews from notable papers are there? Drmies (talk) 03:30, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Weak delete I could not find sources in English to support notability; are there sources in other languages? --MelanieN (talk) 22:28, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment If kept, the title should be changed to spell "pursuit" correctly. (Interesting, the same misspelling is found at the novel's web page, implying a close connection between the novel's promoters and this wikipedia article.) Or, since the subtitle does not appear on the book's cover and may not be part of the title, it could be changed to Heart Chakra (novel). --MelanieN (talk) 22:27, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
