I'm with the Band: Confessions of a Groupie

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Not notable. Only one review cited. Deprodded with a second "review", but perusal of that article finds it to be an editorial that talks about the book for two sentences and then wanders completely off topic for the rest of the page.

I found several sources that say "Pamela Des Barres, author of the best selling memoir I'm with the Band, did blah blah blah", but nothing about the book itself. It's just parenthetically mentioned to big her up every time an article about her is written. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 16:58, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep - In a rush, so going the "ProQuest returns" route for now—but ProQuest returns 527 hits. It was widely reviewed on release. Often considered a rock book classic; Five Books called it one of "The best books on Rock and Roll". Most recently, Kelefa Sanneh's Major Labels wrote about it.

 * Keep Meets WP:NBOOK. I've added refs for multiple reviews, both for its initial release and for its reissue decades later. I also added refs for multiple adaptation attempts. Please see current state of the article. Schazjmd   (talk)  17:50, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
