The Gatekeepers

Not notable, non-bestseller. Page reads like WP:advertising and promotion Malke 2010 (talk) 17:39, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

 * RELUCTANT KEEP While the page does read like an advertisement, I don't think that's enough to warrant a delete, only a cleanup. And while it wasn't a best-seller, the inclusion of the book on The New York Times Book Review's List of Notable Books is enough to justify notability.

 * Comment: I thought that at first, too, but I saw that the author was working at the NYTs at time of publication so their notice of the book seemed an in-house thing. Wikipedia doesn't have a page for NYTs notables so can't merge it.Malke 2010 (talk) 21:09, 13 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep It needs a rewrite (and I had a go) but it has been the subject of multiple reviews, enough to meet WP:NBOOK notability standards. --Colapeninsula (talk) 22:20, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
