Book that fails WP:NBOOKS. No references provided, no reputable references found for reviews or use in course-ware to establish book notability. Mikeblas (talk) 15:02, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. Well, it apparently exists, but that's about all I can say for it.  I don't see any reviews.  Probably too soon for an article yet.  Let's wait until there are some published reviews.  Could also redirect to the author or the series. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:59, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Redirect/Merge to Paul Howard (journalist). I think a mention there should suffice. I found little coverage beyond this brief mention and the article as it stands has too little content to be worth keeping. --Michig (talk) 07:02, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - Nothing suggests this meets WP:NBOOK.--Rpclod (talk) 02:43, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete: I did a little digging and it appears that this book was eventually re-titled Keeping Up with the Kalashnikovs. It apparently was supposed to have been called "Raiders of the Lost Dork" but was changed somewhere prior to publication. Since all of the official information for the book has it listed as "Keeping Up with the Kalashnikovs" and Penguin has this listed under that title, I'd say that we should probably delete this article. There's really nothing here to keep. On a side note, this is kind of an example of the dangers of starting an article for a book prior to its release: the title has changed and until the work officially releases, we don't have anything to redirect this to. Maybe after it releases, but at this time there isn't enough coverage to show that this merits an article at this point in time. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   03:50, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment I've Created the new title as a redirect, which can be expanded after publication. Maybe the cover image with the old title, File:Raiders of the Lost Dork.jpg, should be deleted?-- Auric    talk  12:35, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd suggest deleting it since right now we don't have anywhere we could really use it and there's no true reason to use it on the article for KUWTK if/when the book passes notability guidelines after it releases, as name changes are pretty routine for book releases and there's no reason to really do anything more than briefly mention that the book had a different name prior to its release.

 * Delete - not a notable book. Snappy (talk) 17:48, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article has no refs. I've only once seen an article with no refs survive an afd. It's been challenged and nobody has come up with anything. Szzuk (talk) 21:27, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - we already have an article on the Ross O'Carroll-Kelly series and if this content belongs on Wikipedia, it belongs there. AdventurousMe (talk) 03:39, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
