Meat Is Murder!

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

This book does not seem to meet the notability requirements (WP:NOTE; WP:NB). Sam (talk) 10:28, 31 October 2008 (UTC) 
 * Delete per nomination. Likely redirect candidate to The Smiths' album Meat is Murder.  The slogan may be independently notable.  This book about cannibalism is not. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:20, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - no evidence that the book has sold more than 5,000 copies or otherwise achieved notability. Redirect the title to the album, or perhaps vegetarianism. - Richard Cavell (talk) 03:36, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - it has too many redlinks. Also the article is very stubby and there isn't even an article on the author yet! So delete per WP:N and WP:V and should've been speedied a long, long time ago. - ÆÅM «(fætsøn!) 08:12, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Meat is murder! : [an illustrated guide to cannibal culture] is listed by WorldCat in 61 libraries. This is enough to not meet exclusionary threshold for Notability (books). However, I do not see that it meets inclusionary criteria.  Dloh  cierekim  20:35, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * change to keep per dekkapai below. Apparently there is notability and sourcing not found on the internet or by other editors.  Dloh  cierekim  04:57, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. The other books in this series ( Hollywood Hex and Killing For Culture) might be non-notable, too. I'm not too bothered about it, though. Sam (talk) 21:08, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The Hollywood Hex article is now much improved. Sam (talk) 08:59, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment The book is by a professor, a well-known author and lecturer on cult cinema. I noticed that her Hollywood Hex was nominated for deletion, and came out of retirement to do some of the work that should have been done before attempting to erase it. Now I see the same here, and that Naked Lens-- another book in the series I own and could have easily sourced and improved-- has already been deleted. So should I spend a couple more hours working to improve this "encyclopedic" project that so many of you people would rather dis-improve? Fuck it. This is the reason many of us editors leave. Dekkappai (talk) 02:33, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Dekkappai has really improved the article now. It is now clear to me that it is noteworthy. Can I withdraw the nomination, or do we let it take its course? Sam (talk) 08:47, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
