History and Archaeology Through Laboratory Examinations

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested prod However, no evidence of notability has been found. It appears to be a self-published history book. Fails Notability and Notability (books). maclean (talk) 02:51, 5 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete - Self-published book that does not meet notability criteria. SchreiberBike (talk) 1:15 am, Today (UTC−6)

The book History and Archaeology Through Laboratory Examinations by writer Tome Egumenoski and historian Aleksandar Donski is a book that definately contains evidence of notability, it was advertised in the Australian Macedonian Weekly Newspaper in May, 2012 a few months after it was published--William H. Nault (talk) 01:19, 6 February 2013 (UTC) The book also looks at the origin of the Slavs, evidence of notability can also be found on the very first pages where it states the origin of the Macedonian Slavs before their migrations, it also looks at the Slavs of Croatia.--William H.

 * William H. Nault, deleting other people's comments in a discussion is extremely bad form in Wikipedia. Assuming you did so accidentally, please be careful not to do so again.


 * Regarding the book, please read the This page in a nutshell section at the beginning of Notability (books) and explain how based on Wikipedia standards the book meets those standards. Thank you. SchreiberBike (talk) 01:40, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete as not notable.--Yopie (talk) 11:55, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete -- The title looks like a description of archaeological science, but it appears to be a work only on the archaeology of the Balkans, which is not what the title implies. I think that being reviewed in notable periodicals might make it notable, merely being advertised in the newsletter of an ethnic community does not provide that.  Whether the content of the book is reliable or heavily POV is a differnet question.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:10, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
