The Book of Desolation

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

Contested prod. Only 14 ghits for this book, most of them irrelevant. This article simply repeats someone else's non-notable hoax. Clearly fails WP:VER and WP:BK andy (talk) 10:46, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Sorry, WP:CRYSTAL and all that. ("...the book has not yet been published. Amado is working on the final translation...") - LuckyLouie (talk) 16:55, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - "There is much doubt as to the existence of the book as it has only been seen by Amado himself and just one other person." Fails WP:V, no reliable source. JohnCD (talk) 18:28, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:CRYSTAL and WP:V don't really apply here. The article is primarily about Amado Crowley's claims regarding this book. These claims can be verified (and, in fact, are referenced). However, I'd question the notability. Therefore I suggest we merge and redirect to Amado Crowley. That Crowley claims to be translating this book is the most interesting thing about it, and there's plenty of room for Crowley's claims regarding the book in the article about him.
