It's Not News, It's FARK: How Mass Media Tries to Pass off Crap as News

Since this book has yet even to be published, it is hard to find any evidence for its actual significance. It's not exactly the latest Harry Potter, after all. Guy (Help!) 20:11, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, I'll grab exact dates shortly, but reviews in Publishers Weekly and the American Library Association's Booklist clearly constitute any notability this book needs beyond its founder and the site. --badlydrawnjeff talk 20:48, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep A book by the founder of a web site as well-known as fark is likely to attract a lot of attention. JulesH 20:57, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - Almost certainly will require an article on publication, no sense deleting it now. FCYTravis 02:20, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - There's no policy saying verifiable books that have yet to be published cannot have articles (see the new Harry Potter book for example). Besides, the thing is coming out in 2 days ... someone will just create a new article if we delete it now. 23skidoo 19:37, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep As noted there will be an article about it anyway. daveh4h 00:13, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I'm staring at my copy.  It's published. Adlaistevenson 20:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
