The Electoral Atlas of New South Wales

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The wording of the article is written like a foreword and initial chapters for the publication The Electoral Atlas of New South Wales, which is the subject of the article, so it seems likely it could be a WP:COPYVIO from the publication itself (according to Antony Green—one of the editors—only 800 copies were printed so it seems unlikely to meet any notability requirements for third-party coverage). The article creator's account name is the same name as one of the cartographers listed in the credits section, so possible WP:COI issues as well, and article creator has not been active since 2007. As has been mentioned in the edit comments, the content could be useful as an electoral history of the New South Wales colony/state with the book itself as one of the references, but I think due to the COPYVIO and COI concerns it should be deleted. Unfortunately due to the small print run the book is difficult to find for verifying either the copyvio question or for use as a reference. Canley (talk) 02:23, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
