The Butterfly Garden

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No indication of notability - an endorsement does not show notability, and nothing from Google searches beyond vendor listings, which makes little sense for a 2008 book. (Also see related AFD for its author, Chip St. Clair, believing that both of these are self-promotional articles). M asem (t) 00:39, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete: This is pretty promotionally written, enough to where I'd support a speedy deletion as spam. There's just not anything out there that's in-depth about the book. There's the Midwest Book Review review, but that's just a few sentences long and the MBR isn't really the most reliable of sources - even prior to them coming out in 2011 and charging fees, they weren't always the strongest. I haven't fully checked for sourcing for the author for his article, but offhand I wasn't able to find a lot about him either as far as the book goes so I'm going to refrain from suggesting a redirect. Offhand both this and the author's page would need to be pretty much TNT'd to be saved even with reviews. There seems to be a very big COI here as far as the article creations go as well.

 * The strongest I found was this, but it's not really something that would be able to establish notability. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  22:32, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
