Lawley Road and Other Stories

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I was tempted to prod this article but thought I'd send it to AfD just in case. The article, as it currently stands, is unreferenced, biased and promotional. The author is R. K. Narayan and he is certainly notable, but this book of his doesn't seem to be. A Google Books search yields quite a lot of results, but every single one of these seems to be a brief mention of this book in a list of works by the author; it fails WP:NBOOK #1 as there are no non-trivial works relating to the subject. I do not believe #5 applies either, as the author is not so notable that all of their works are. — Bilorv(talk)(c)(e) 21:22, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete It's an unsourced spammy review that looks as if it's lifted fom a publisher's blurb. I would have speedied as spam if I'd got there first Jimfbleak - talk to me?  07:05, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
