Operation C.O.R.O.N.A (novel)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This was originally just a plot summary when I came across it at NPP. A quick check of twitter/the publisher's website shows this is the only book the publisher has ever released, the only two sources are clearly primary, and a search brought up only an Amazon link and a bunch of self-promotional forum posts. Fails WP:GNG. SportingFlyer  T · C  20:27, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. There's just not anything out there to show where this book is notable. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  21:08, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete No sign that the book meets the requirements of WP:NBOOK or WP:GNG. Oddly, it looks like this is the only book ever published by this publisher so this may in effect be a self-published book. Pichpich (talk) 21:21, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
 * If you see that this book currently lacks sufficient evidence to meet Wikipedia's WP:NBOOK requirement, then you are welcome to delete it.Viewerindepth (talk) 21:37, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
 * YupDelete. Non-notable book. -CoronaEditor (talk) 05:00, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete a total lack of reliable sources.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:41, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Books are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist — the notability test for a book requires some reliably sourced evidence of significance, such as noteworthy literary awards and/or reviews from professional critics in real newspapers, magazines and literary journals. The fact that the book's existence can technically be verified on the self-published websites of its author and publisher is not, in and of itself, enough to get a book over the inclusion standards for books.

 * Delete, does not meet WP:NBOOK or WP:GNG, gsearch brings up zero reviews. Coolabahapple (talk) 06:10, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
