Scattered Thoughts from my Broken Brain

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Was quite rightly proposed for deletion but that tag was removed by a well meaning editor citing the claim that the author had won multiple awards. Googling these awards reveals only links to promotional and retail material for self-published e-books; there is no independent evidence that this book is notable. The title does not get a single hit on Google News or Google Books, and the first page of a general Google search is all different versions of Amazon (.com, .co.uk, .in, etc.) and the self-publishing author's own social media -- Andreas Philopater (talk) 00:49, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete&mdash;Self-published via Amazon in electronic format only. Zero holdings in WorldCat.  The book just came out a little over a month ago, so I'm not surprised as to the absence of any critical notice.  Redirect to Julian King would be a reasonable second choice, but given the obscurity I think deletion is more appropriate.  Lesser Cartographies (talk) 01:56, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. Google seems to have never heard of this.  I'm open to other possibilities, but redirecting to the author's page doesn't seem very useful, as that's currently laboring under a BLPPROD. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:36, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. Normally I'd suggest that this be redirected to the author's page, but I've just deleted the entry as an unsourced BLP since it'd been through the full 7 days without any links to a RS and a search didn't show where he or the awards are particularly noteworthy. This seems to be the same case here, as I can't find anything that suggests that this book is ultimately notable enough to merit an article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   11:11, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
