Satan, His Psychotherapy and Cure by the Unfortunate Dr. Kassler, J.S.P.S.

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

No indication that this passes WP:BK. Only sources appear to be unreliable reviews and even the article describes it as "a somewhat obscure book". VernoWhitney (talk) 21:56, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

If we're going to delete books based on obscurity then perhaps we should delete everything written before 1960, or maybe even everything but the Twilight Saga. Satan is an obscure book in the literal sense, not many people have read it. If this qualifies a book for deletion from wikipedia then I wonder if something like Lolita should also be removed, considering most people have not read that either. Secondly, Amazon book reviews are as legitimate as any other review when taken with a grain of salt. I apologize if there isn't a NY Times book review of the novel, but again, simply because the novel is not well known does not mean it isn't of literary relevance. Thank you for your time and I urge that this page be left up as the book is in fact of literary merit and the article is sound. DacodaNelson (talk) 22:13, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
