Pigs I Have Known

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

This no doubt charming book does not appear to be notable. The worldcat entry for the author (who, by the way, may be notable) shows that this book is held by 17 libraries worldwide&mdash;an indicator of non-notability. An all-dates Google news archive search draws a blank. A web search generates catalog listings and several mirrors of the current and previous versions of this article. There are no editorial or even user reviews at the Amzon UK page for the book. Bongo matic  08:30, 10 May 2009 (UTC) 
 * Delete per the excellent research of the nominator. I have also done several searches for sources and have been unable to confirm this book's notability. I did discover that this book has been cited by The English pig: a history by Robert W. Malcolmson, Stephanos Mastoris, but that is not enough to establish notability per WP:NB.
