Real Marriage

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This title is not notable. There are very few verifiable sources, and little broad public discussion on it. As it is, the page reads as an advertisement for the book, with most criticism of it coming from unverifiable sources (blogs) Lyonscc (talk) 23:49, 17 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Weak keep The book was on the New York Times Bestseller List, which gives the book only some notability. Bulldog73 talk da contribs  go rando 23:56, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. From what I've always understood, being on the NYT bestseller list doesn't really count towards notability and is seen as more of a trivial source. It does, however, make it much easier to find sources that would, such as reviews and articles. I'll see what I can find, but I'll warn you- if I can't find them then the NYT ranking by itself isn't enough.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 11:21, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I could change my view if information could be presented. Internet search reveals no notable significance like the The Purpose Driven Life or any impact like Love Wins, A Book About Heaven, Hell, and blah blah blah. There is little chatter about this book.

 * Keep. I found multiple reviews and sources to show that this book has notability. I also revamped the article and removed some links that were by non-reliable sources or weren't really about the book, as the previous incarnation really was awful. It passes WP:NBOOK now.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 12:28, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep, really notable now. Thank you Tokyogirl79 for the excellent work. Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 06:26, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - I think this is really borderline. It is notable in the same way as a large number of self-help books are notable, and I frankly think this is spreading the net a bit too wide. However, my personal opinion is not really relevant to what is generally considered notable on wikipedia, so follow the general concensus, this article should stay. --Kristjan Wager (talk) 21:47, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
