The Falling Kingdom

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

I've seen this article speedied several times, and the author seems intent on re-introducing without much improvement. Though I haven't been able to find significant coverage in reliable sources online, previous versions of the article asserted references in photography magazines (if an admin could retrieve these from the falling kingdom, it could help us here). I think we need to either conclusively establish notability, or salt all permutations of the title to prevent this unconstructive cycle from continuing. the skomorokh 17:55, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

 * That's not helpful. The author is likely to just repost. This AfD is intended to uncover and assess the sources, and as I said in the nom, there is an assertion of coverage in reliable sources—that is, the topic is asserted to be notable, making it ineligible for WP:A7. the skomorokh  18:29, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * No suggestion of notability. Every book does not deserve an encyclopedia entry. There's nothing in the article to suggest it's notable. I hope that's more helpful. ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:42, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, much clearer, thank you. I would only object that the book may pass the general notability guideline, as previous versions of the article have alluded. the skomorokh  18:47, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Sven NordgrenDon’t really see the issue here. The Civil war in Nepal has hardly been on the papers front row. There is hardly any text and very little Photographs made to document this time of history. The Book “ The falling Kingdom” is all that. Why I belief it’s more then notable for Wikipedia. The book is just out in the stores. Since I am been working about 40 years as doctor 10 years as a volunteer in Nepal. I belief I would be able to point out the need for this kind of book and it’s important. Since this my first article in Wikipedia I understand that I did some mistakes in the article. But would appreciate every comment and help to make this page better, which are my only concern. Sincerely Sven Nordgren

 * Delete The book may become notable, but it is no now, nor can it really be expected to be, as it has just been published. (Some books can be, from very well known authors, or instant best sellers, but it's unusual. Normally, an article inserted at that time has a strong likelihood of being considered promotional. And the expalanation given for it in fact indicates that purpose. WP is an encyclopedia. DGG (talk) 17:13, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
