The Freud Reader

 * – ( View AfD View log )

unsourced and no indication of WP:notability. Strangely disputed prod by someone who doubted it was notable. noq (talk) 23:33, 9 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment I'll dispute a prod if I like, thanks. Anyone is allowed to do this. Like I said, I doubt that the book is notable, but I actually have no idea. Having a proper AfD will encourage a larger number of editors to comment, and help establish whether the book is actually notable or not. Polisher of Cobwebs (talk) 23:39, 9 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Weak delete A book like this may have wide readership compared to other Freud publications but is unlikely to get many review and won't be cited widely; I only found one review, from Library Journal Review, and it's rather short. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:19, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Peter Gay. Like Colapeninsula, I'm rather doubtful of the availability of sourcing. I had a look in Highbeam and JSTOR, and it's very scant. There is good coverage of Peter Gay's work on Freud: for instance, there's an excellent article on Gay's interpretation of Freud in various other works . But on Gay's edited volume of Freud? Can't find anything. —Tom Morris (talk) 09:14, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
