The result was delete per a mixture of WP:SNOW and WP:G7. I have no problem with this article being re-created once the book releases and gains the necessary coverage to pass WP:NBOOK. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  04:33, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

I doubt that this book is notable and in any case the article is basically a resume of the book's content; as such it risks becoming a POV fork. TheLongTone (talk) 15:11, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - even if the topic is notable, summarising a book like this isn't. And might well be a WP:COPYVIO JMWt (talk) 15:29, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Per JMWt above, this type of article (75% summary, failing WP:TERSE) is unacceptable, and likely fails WP:COPYVIO. Either way, this seems to fail WP:Notability. The lead even seems to indicate that this book is not even available yet (WP:TOOSOON). Amccann421 (talk) 17:06, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:ISNOT a book reviewer. Particularly when no-one else appears to have reviewed it first. Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi  17:28, 29 March 2016 (UTC)


 * It is indeed a simple book overview. Its worth will need to be established by the specialist scholarly community. So deleting the entry at this stage does not seem unfair. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomsk Univer Istfak (talk • contribs) 20:20, 29 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete unless notability of the book is established and confirmed by WP:RS Alex Bakharev (talk)


 * Delete The contributor agrees with the concerns raised and that it is ok to delete the article until the "book" in question becomes avialable User: Tomsk Univer Istfak (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:13, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
