Hey! (novel)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

A self-published book with little to indicate that it is in any way notable. The sole third-party source is a linked article to The Swindon Advertiser, presented as a press report on controversy created by the novel. In fact, the story reports that the author expects controversy. I can find no evidence that the prediction came true, nor can I find any other coverage of the book.

 * Delete per nom. The article does fail WP:BK easily, and it does not appear that more sources will surface soon.  --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 02:54, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. The predicted controversy does not seem to have materialized. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:14, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete self-published books are pretty much non-notable by definition. Seems like the author was fishing for controversy but nobody actually cared enough to be outraged by it. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  19:32, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BK and lack of substantial third-party sources. Barno (talk) 19:35, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Very little in the way of sourcing to indicate that this is a notable book. Capitalistroadster (talk) 19:51, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
