The Entrancing Flame

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable fringe theory book by marginally notable author on fringe topic. Neither evidence nor assertion of notability, but rather a flat restatement of book's thesis (which begins with a giant leap of assuming that spontaneous human combustion is a real thing).

 * Delete: No evidence at all that this book has been read by anyone, never mind substantially commented upon in multiple reliable independent secondary sources. Delete in its entirety. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 15:53, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is at least one review, but this generally fails WP:NBOOK. I would be OK with a redirect to John E. Heymer if the author is notable. -Location (talk) 18:12, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete An obscure work that fails WP:NBOOK. - LuckyLouie (talk) 18:33, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete; the book falls short of our notability hurdle. Alternatively, I'd be OK with a redirect to the author. bobrayner (talk) 21:17, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Redirect to John E. Heymer. This book is discussed in some sources but it looks like Heymer's main claim to fame is this book. I don't think that we particularly need two articles on the same topic, as that's the main thrust of his article as well. Tokyogirl79  (｡◕‿◕｡)   04:19, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect, probably to John E. Heymer, per User:Tokyogirl79. The content of the current article could be merged to there;  the Heymer article is not too large to require his book to be split out.  Seems like one article covering Heymer and the book is about right for amount of coverage in wikipedia.  No need to entirely delete the article however, leave the edit history there. -- do  ncr  am  23:31, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
