The Gods of Antarctica

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

non-notable book by non-notable author (wiki page on him has been twice deleted, once speedily (A7) and once after this XFD discussion).

Initially it looks like there are many sources at the bottom of the page but the vast majority of them are the same article, which was drawn off PTI (an Indian newswire service) and republished on different sites. It is more of a "soft news" story than a discussion of the book - the focus is on the fact that a 13-year-old published a book, not on the book itself.

No reviews, no evidence that the book has been widely read.

The other sources are not really sources at all: links to the book's entry on google's books, the author's profile on goodreads, etc. Fyddlestix (talk) 21:11, 28 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete. Per WP:Notability Certainly looks like a promotional effort. Makes claims like "in top 1000 on Amazon" without citing a source. 220  of  Borg 08:47, 4 March 2015 (UTC)u
 * Delete. As Fyddlesttix points out, it looks like it's sourced, but it isn't really. The aythor has been judged non-notable for Wikipedia, and so is the book. Bishonen &#124; talk 19:20, 7 March 2015 (UTC).
