I can't find significant coverage for this book Joe Chill (talk) 02:52, 6 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment I really wanted to !vote one or the other here but this one is a real toss-up for me. I won't !vote delete because there are several hits for the book on search engines. I won't !vote keep either because I am not quite convinced of its notability. Has it won any awards or have anything else that would make it notable enough for a Wikipedia article? I have my doubts on both sides of keeping and deleting.-- The LegendarySky Attacker 03:26, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per the lack of reliable sources and per the lack of significant awards. This book was authored by Mary Elting and Christopher Santoro. I was able to uncover this book review from Publisher's Weekly; however, this is a review of a different book, which is written by Ian Jenkins. Several searches fail to return any sources that could confirm this book's notability. Cunard (talk) 05:46, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete sigh, i know whats happening. i do it myself. look in my bookshelf and create articles on books. however, i use one other criteria: notability. golden books are almost never notable (some are though). this is not. of course, an older book of apparent notability without web refs is a different story, im hopefully not a rabid deletionist, but in this case, again, no reason for an article.
