Scratch Beginnings

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Does not meet the notability criteria for books; of 5 external references or links, one is the book's own webpage, one is some guy's blog, one is a page where people pay to have their products reviewed, and one is a clearinghouse for press releases. A single interview at the Christian Science Monitor is not "multiple, non-trivial public works". Zhou Xi (talk) 19:20, 21 June 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Keep Although this article could no doubt be improved, the book appears notable. Reviews or discussions of this self-published book have appeared on NPR, CNN Headline News, ABC News.com, the Christian Science Monitor, the Seattle Times, Minneapolis Star Tribune and several other regional newspapers.  I have added these references to the collection of Reviews and Media Discussions of the Book at the end of the article, although someone else could integrate them better into the text of the article.
