How to Hunt Ghosts

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

After an extensive search, I can't find anything demonstrating why this book is notable. The author, while a seeming professional in the field the book is written for, doesn't seem particularly notable either. This article was proposed for deletion, and the prod was about to expire, until I noticed that a prod was previously removed from the article violating WP:PROD. --  At am a chat 19:31, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - per nom. Fails WP:BK; non-notable book by a non-notable author. Jезка  (talk) 09:48, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - There are reliable sources for this book, gnews hits: as well as a review by Library Journal:
 * Hommerding, Leroy. "Calling on Extraterrestrials/How To Hunt Ghosts (Book)." Library Journal 128, no. 9 (May 15, 2003): 105;Abstract:Reviews the books 'Calling on Extraterrestrials: Eleven Steps to Inviting Your Own UFO Encounters,' by Lisette Larkins and 'How to Hunt Ghosts: A Practical Guide,' by Joshua Warren.--Captain-tucker (talk) 01:46, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Note,Library Journal review reference and a few citations have been added to the article.--Captain-tucker (talk) 10:31, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment The best you can find is a review in The Daily Cardinal (a UW Madison independent student newsletter), passing mention in 2 books, and Library Journal, a trade publication for librarians. That's more than nothing but still shaky to me. --  At am a chat 16:11, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment There's also this in the NY Times. None of the sources thrill me, but they are something, leaving me pretty much on the fence.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  19:08, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Just another case of a user promoting a non-notable book written by a non-notable author. It's not that the book doesn't exist, which the sources show, but whether it's notable. Erik the Red  2 ( AVE · CAESAR ) 22:28, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
