Memoria viva de la transición

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not meet any of the five criteria for book notability. Mathglot (talk) 16:01, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Surely as a memoir by a clearly notable man, merging would be more sensible? --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:18, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Yes, perhaps. As a standalone article, I don't see it. The book is a sequel to memoirs by ex-P.M. Calvo-Sotelo about Spain's transition to democracy, a clearly notable topic, but as mentioned at Articles for deletion/Papers from an unemployed person books don't inherit notability from the notability of their chosen subject area.  On the other hand, I think it's likely that a new sub-section in the article about the author would be warranted, with consideration for due weight. Mathglot (talk) 16:45, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Per the "drive-by comment" at Afd/Papers from an unemployed person, since reviews are included in notability and this book clearly has reviews, I see no point in continuing this. Nomination withdrawn.  Mathglot (talk) 22:36, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak keep -- The political memoirs of a Prime Minister (Presidente) are likely to be notable, but this is a horrid article. There appears to be another volume of memoirs.  Could we combine them into one article?  Peterkingiron (talk) 18:13, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 10:12, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep A google scholar search shows this book is referenced some 154 time. I am requesting speedy because the nomination was withdrawn. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 18:18, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
