The Chemical Feast

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

This book does not appear to meet any of the 5 criteria set out in Notability (books). I have previously prod'ed it, but the prod was removed with the edit summary "famous author, well known book, look for reviews and other refs" - which is factually incorrect. The famous person, Ralph Nader, wrote the introduction, but the book itself is by the relatively unknown Jim Turner, who does not meet criteria 5 of Notability (books) (The book's author is so historically significant that any of his or her written works may be considered notable.)

 * that deprod summary was my fault. I read too quickly & was careless enough to think it was Nader. DGG (talk) 05:10, 5 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak keep pending further search for reviews. The book,  that's the book not the report on which it is based, is in over 1200 US libraries.  It was translated into French  and into Japanese  There is, confusingly, another fairly widely held book with almost the same title but on a slightly different subject of diet in disease, Le Riche, W. H. (1982). A chemical feast. New York, NY: Facts on File. ISBN 9780458954209 DGG (talk) 05:10, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
