Terrorism in Italy from 1945 till today

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

Seemingly non-notable book. No claims to it's notability. In fact the article seems less about the book and more about other topics already covered in other articles. The style and grammar of the article could be cleaned up if a keep decision is made so that shouldn't be a considering factor. Canterbury Tail  talk  11:49, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep I have never read this book, and and am thus not sufficiently familiar with it to make a definitive judgment (the same can probably be said of every other person associated with this discussion), but it seems like it may well be notable. The article has issues, yes, but they don't seem sufficient to warrant its deletion.  It is a book on an important and notable topic (Wikipedia has several articles related to the topic of the post-World War II terrorism in Italy), by a notable author, Giovanni Pellegrino.  Deletion seems premature. KevinOKeeffe (talk) 12:23, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 *  Keep Neutral I haven't read the book either, and the article clearly needs a lot of cleaning up -- but the author seems to be notable and the subject certainly is. HyperCapitalist (talk) 05:23, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * comment - Yes the author is notable, as is the subject, but is the book? That's the reason I nominated it. Is the book notable in itself, or is it only notable because it was written by the particular author? I can't find any non-trivial coverage of it in external sources, most results for the book are Wikipedia mirrors, no news, no reviews, no academic sources citing it as a source. Doesn't seem to meet with any of the standards of notability outside of the author. Canterbury Tail   talk  11:45, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Good point. I tend to think that any book by a notable author is notable, but I have changed my position to neutral until someone familiar with the book weighs in. HyperCapitalist (talk) 12:58, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Notability is not inherited. Notability for the book is all that matters, and must be established. WesleyDodds (talk) 06:11, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete No evidence of notability of book. Note to closing admin - if this is kept, the article name should be disambiguated and clarified using "(book)" as a suffix - this currently appears to be an article about a topic, not about a book, and is thus misleading. --Dweller (talk) 14:41, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The book is not notable, but it makes a great source for the article Terrorism in Italy post World War II. Move and rewrite the whole article.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:36, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
