The Black Storm at Elingale

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NB; I can't find any coverage in secondary sources, nor any information about the alleged publisher Imagine It. Possibly self-published. Blackguard 18:43, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete clearly fails WP:NBOOK. No secondary coverage at all. The all of seven reader reviews at Amazon are impressive, but they all seem to be from around Baltimore, where the author hangs out; they may not all be independent. No review in Publishers Weekly. Given the listed publisher, indicates self-published. Reading a sample of the text the grammar and dialogue are much better than average. --Bejnar (talk) 03:56, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Sometimes self-published books are notable, but it's a huge, uphill battle.  I don't see any indication on Google that there's coverage in reliable sources.  If someone can locate reviews, then the article can be recreated. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:29, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. I just can't find anything to show that this book is ultimately notable or has received reviews in reliable sources - Amazon reviews can't be used to show notability, unfortunately. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   11:41, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
