The Circle Stone Group: The Beginning

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Self-published children's novel with no reliable, independent sources (the references provided include an Amazon page, a Facebook page and what looks like an author-penned press release). The article is written by the author himself. Holly25 (talk) 00:00, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this book. Joe Chill (talk) 00:09, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, found some press releases but no significant independent coverage that could meet WP:NBOOK.  Glenfarclas   ( talk ) 00:19, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete The "reviews" on Amazon is a customer review, which is total opinion and not suitable for a reference, and Facebook is not close to a reliable source either. There's no independent coverage apart from these and an advertising website; the article's references section makes that clear. C628 (talk) 00:36, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. I personally think that category A9 of speedy deletion should include things like this. If there's zero signs that either the book or the author are notable, is there any point in a deletion debate? Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 10:43, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 * This sort of thing is always getting shot down at Village pump, but you're welcome to give it a try.  Glenfarclas   ( talk ) 21:57, 9 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete As I said in the PROD (which the author removed), the references section demonstrates that there are no reliable sources on this book. No reliable sources = can't have a good encyclopedia article on it = delete.  Nyttend (talk) 05:07, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
