 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Book by a conspiracy theorist. started an AfD for this but (since anonymous users can't create articles) couldn't create the AfD page. No !vote from me yet. -- Eastmain 23:57, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - not notable. Nyquist's one and only book, written in 1998, is highly derivative of Anatoliy Golitsyn's writings and has been out of print for a while now. 217.134.116.71 00:08, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep – By deleting the book I believe we would be setting up a conundrum. The author is noteworthy enough to be included in Wikipedia but the book he wrote is not.  I believe they go hand in hand.  The author is defiantly noteworthy enough to be included.  Hence, the book by default becomes noteworthy. Shoessss 00:30, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * This book is Nyquist's one and only, perhaps it should be merged with Jeffrey Nyquist. 217.134.116.71 00:40, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. Conspiracy spam not meeting notability criteria. Doesn't deserve an article, but could be mentioned in Nyquist article. Vlad fedorov 03:05, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * merge is the choice between two articles and zero articles? It seems more reasonable that for a slight notable author of a slightly notable book, the two together might justify one article. I think it would be better practice in such cases to keep the article on the author, because  the author is likely to have done some other things than write the book (as he has), and in any case will potentially write more. The article on the book has no such growth potential.   DGG 04:40, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge. Book not notable in and of itself. Vassyana 04:43, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. Might be merged with article World War IV.Biophys 14:10, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Not appropriate as per WP:Fringe theories and WP:Undue weight. Merge into Nyquist article. 217.134.225.56 15:38, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
