The Creature from Jekyll Island

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

First deletion reason: Wikipedia articles must not be vehicles for advertisement. Non-notable as part of a Walled Garden of the unreliable Federal Reserve conspiracy blogosphere. This book fails our criteria under Notability (books): A book is generally notable if it verifiably meets through reliable sources, one or more of the following criteria: Simply put, The Creature from Jekyll Island fails all of these criteria.  MortonDevonshire  Yo  · 17:11, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) The book has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the book itself, with at least some of these works serving a general audience. This includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries and reviews. Some of these works should contain sufficient critical commentary to allow the article to grow past a simple plot summary.
 * 2) * The immediately preceding criterion excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book.
 * 3) The book has won a major literary award.
 * 4) The book has been made or adapted with attribution into a motion picture that was released into multiple commercial theaters, or was aired on a nationally televised network or cable station in any country.
 * 5) The book is the subject of instruction at multiple grade schools, high schools,  universities or post-graduate programs in any particular country.
 * 6) The book's author is so historically significant that any of his or her written works may be considered notable, even in the absence of secondary sources.

 * Delete. Has a couple dozen citations in Google books and brief mentions in a few news articles (plus it's gone through a number of printings and editions and seems to be a bit respectable as far as books go) but I find no sources that suggest this book meets our notability guidelines.--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 21:30, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
