The Art of Reasoning
This is basically a table of contents for a current textbook. Probably falls under the category of Wikipedia is not a dump for indiscriminate knowledge? Nothing in here I probably couldn't get off of Amazon, and doesn't seem notable. MPW 07:03, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete (not speedy) as copyvio. &mdash; Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 20:56, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete without predjudice. The article is copyvio and can't be kept in its present form. No editor has seen fit to clean it up during the AfD. It should be deleted but I am happy for it to be recreated, per Bdj's arguments, with encyclopaedic, 'clean' material. BlueValour 22:30, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Stubbed. --badlydrawnjeff talk 23:50, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * The problem now is that there is way too insufficient material for a separate article; the two external links can be added to the suthor's article. I do not believe in splintering information across a series of small articles; it is inefficient both for the editors and readers. Articles should grow organically then split when required. In the case of this book it should only be split out from the author's article when the material on it starts to overbalance the host article. BlueValour 02:03, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * It's a stub. They start small and are quite viable. --badlydrawnjeff talk 02:52, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and maybe redirect title to author David Kelley page. Searching Google, I couldn't find any info on the book alone that would merit its own article. Also looking at Wikipedia, I didn't see any similar type articles on a text book for comparison. Agne 06:59, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
