promotional in nature, non-notable individual, primary editors appear to have a confict of interest and appear to be meatpuppeting to support the article Shearonink (talk) 00:04, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I've blocked all the main contributors to the article, as when Shearonink asked me for advice on how to handle this article, it seemed apparent that there was some sort of socking going on. On further investigation, User:Capadonna33 is a confirmed second account of User:Pompeico and has been blocked indefinitely; Pompeico and the two other accounts are possibly related to each other (more likely to be separate people, that is, meatpuppets) and have been blocked 1 week each.

 * Delete No news sources. Article is unlikely to pass WP:AUTHOR. Minima  ©  ( talk ) 05:56, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Not a single news source.--Johnsemlak (talk) 10:13, 12 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete Self-published, and not yet released (the book). The two non-wiki references don't seem to have the name 'Knedel' in them. The 'Authonomy' link is to a site where new books can be 'discovered'. Self-submitted. All in all, looks promotional. Peridon (talk) 10:37, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete Highly promotional, WP:SELFPUB, and truly non-notable by Wikipedia standards. Someday this may change, but until then, delete and WP:SALT. ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 11:35, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
