Doesn't appear to be notable. I've been scrubbing around trying to find references to confer notability, but I'm striking out. That seems odd, as this kind of book usually generates a pretty big splash in the press, but it seems like this one just hasn't. Mikeblas (talk) 10:52, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep As the good-faith creator and main contributor, I would have appreciated the courtesy of notification. Regardless, I obviously believe this article should be kept. It was published around a decade ago, and many internet sources would have been deleted. I will endeavour to find two reviews etc to meet WP:NBOOK. AusLondonder (talk) 08:30, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep - It looks like the book merited a scholarly review in Current Issues in Criminal Justice, as stated above, as well as references in multiple later books that touch upon multicultural political issues in Britian (see, for example, here). The author himself is certainly a notable British writer who's held multiple controversial opinions on a wide variety of topics. I feel inclined to think that we shouldn't delete the article.

 * Keep as this seems acceptable. SwisterTwister   talk  06:12, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, there may not be a ton of sources, but there appears to be enough to confer notability. Kharkiv07  ( T ) 00:59, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
