The Force of Reason

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No indication of notability per WP:N. Cs32en  Talk to me  12:29, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Like "The book was a bestseller in Europe" for example? Fair enough, it isn't cited but as per WP:BEFORE you could try that Google Books thingy (best combining author name with book title) to see various published discussions of this very book. AllyD (talk) 17:29, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
 * If you have a reliable source for the assertion that the "book was a bestseller in Europe", please add it to the article. Cs32en   Talk to me  17:42, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Already done, 1 min before you asked. AllyD (talk)
 * Maybe 30 seconds, as I had checked the article before adding my comment. This may be a good start, yet we need to present the book based on information taken from secondary, reliable sources. The statement that the book was a bestseller is not enough for doing this. Cs32en   Talk to me  18:06, 30 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Clearly notable book that led to a well-known court-case: see the refs now added to the article, or others that can be found such as New York Times. AllyD (talk) 17:45, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Book was a bestseller and led to a court case that's discussed in books and such. The court case should be mentioned in the article, though. Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 21:35, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
