The result was   speedy keep. In addition to clear consensus, I was able to quite quickly find multiple book reviews and significant discussion in independent sources, as well as discussion in many additional sources which could be used in the article.

Nuclear Politics in America

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

Non-notable book. Article is self-referencing, no independent sources of any kind whatsoever. Top three pages of Google hits are almost totally bookseller listings. Fails WP:BOOK. Contested PROD, removed by original author. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 14:35, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - published by University Press of Kansas, cited in other publications, has been reviewed in various academic journals , and The Journal of American History. Satisfies the criteria listed in Notability (books). Ostap 17:18, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep While the existence of reviews on face is not sufficient to meet WP:NB, the number of or depth existing reviews can change things. The review in Environmental History is four pages long and delves into the book in a significant fashion.  I wouldn't call the book widely cited, but it appears to have had some impact.  as for the publisher, while publication by UK would easily make the work reliable, it doesn't make it notable.  I am, however, inclined to offer the benefit of the doubt to the article. Protonk (talk) 04:05, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep, Here is the specifics of the Journal of American History source mentioned by Ostap, I believe with what has been presented in this AfD that the book passes WP:BK
 * Pope, Daniel. "Book Reviews." Journal of American History 85, no. 3 (December 1998): 1165-1166., Abstract: Reviews the book `Nuclear Politics in America: A History and Theory of Government Regulation,' by Robert J. Duffy. --Captain-tucker (talk) 09:55, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
