Spirit and Resistance: Political Theology and American Indian Liberation

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Appears to be spam. Almost solely the work of Hroðgar æ Beocwealm, whose only other major contributions seem to be to George Tinker, the author of the book that is the subject of this article. Hroðgar æ Beocwealm also inserted a link to George Tinker into List of writers from peoples indigenous to the Americas, and hyperlinked a suspiciously prominent mention of the book (added by an anon) in Panentheism to this article. (I suspect that Hroðgar æ Beocwealm may actually be George Tinker himself, but can't prove it.) Finally, the article was prodded back in February but Hroðgar æ Beocwealm de-prodded it. — Hex    (❝  ?!  ❞)   19:01, 5 August 2007 (UTC)


 * delete - I may be prejudiced against WP:VSCA originating from WP:SPAs. However, the original author did post on the talk page, after the prod, saying that he would try to find third-party sources for the article. He then disappeared, came back a month later to write another article on Tinker, and then disappeared again. Thus the article seems to be undertaken in bad faith. Also, it's completely unsourced, and everything after the first paragraph looks like it was CTRL-Ved straight from a press release. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 00:19, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete That's quite a huge plot summary for a book with zero third-party reviews, citations, or other references. -- Kicking222 00:37, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete per nom, above, and as I shall note. WP needs more articles about Native Americans, but this is not one of them.  Violates a scattering of rules, most importantly, non-fair-use of a copyright.  Quite a few Ghits, showing it's being sold at Amazon, Walmart etc.  Ample time was given to the editors to fix it.  Do not salt, as some reader might draft a better article. My Old English is a bit weak, but is not Hrothgar the same as George?  Bearian 19:47, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
