declined speedy. the author is notable, the title essay is clearly notable independent of the collection, other essays are notable, but this book, as a book, is not notable in any way that i can see. &mdash; alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 03:03, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. That it was by a major author should be enough (and I think Bukowski satisfies WP:NBOOK #5), because we gain nothing by punching a hole in our coverage of his works (the same as deleting an album from the discography of a notable band).  But it's very easy to verify that this particular collection was widely reviewed, thus demonstrating its own independent notability per WP:NBOOK #1 and WP:GNG.  postdlf (talk) 14:51, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * withdraw&mdash;you are absolutely right. i didn't carry out a good enough investigation, and i apologize for wasting time. if i read the guideline correctly, since no one has suggested deletion, i can do a nonadmin close on this?  or does someone else have to do it by this point?&mdash; alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 15:00, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
