NC Media Law Handbook

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Poorly referenced article about a book, whose only discernible claim of notability per WP:NBOOK is that it exists. The only two references here are a copy of the book in PDF format, and the website of the organization that published it -- which makes them both primary sources that cannot carry notability. As always, a book does not automatically get a Wikipedia article just because its existence can be nominally verified by metareferencing it to itself; a book needs to be the subject of reliable source coverage, in media which are independent of its own publisher's self-promotion efforts, for a Wikipedia article to become earned.

 * Delete: Non-notable online-only state legal guidebook regarding a niche practice area; I found no independent secondary sources, and none likely exist outside my search capabilities (or ever will, because no one outside a relative handful of North Carolinians will ever have use for it, and even fewer will have any reason to write about it). -  Julietdeltalima   (talk)  00:11, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
