The result was Delete. I don't think notabily is established; one review is only a mention, another a minor and fairly trivial blurb. They don't provide enough information to indicate that this can be expanded into a full article. Article can be recreated if more sources are found establishing notability.Cúchullain t/ c 03:23, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

The Guide To Selling Your Music In The iTunes Music Store

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This was originally deleted as a CSD A7/G11. DRV overturned, finding that the sources given constituted an assertion of note, and evidence of non-spammy possibilities. The matter is sent to AfD for full consideration. This is a procedural listing, so I abstain. Xoloz 15:59, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, I see one full-fledged review, one capsule review, and one passing reference. Although the reviews are positive I don't see notability or importance asserted (it's about the only book in its niche). Pretty weak hook to hang the need for an article on. --Dhartung | Talk 17:49, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete not notable enough for its own article. I can image this as a EL to an article on iTunes or something like that but giving this book its own article is too much.  --Abnn 23:05, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, meets WP:BK with multiple independent reviews, and is verifiable. --badlydrawnjeff talk 14:36, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to iTunes, how's that for a solution?  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  15:37, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It's nonsensical. The book has no relationship to iTunes other than iTunes being the subject. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:40, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Exactly. iTunes could feasibly have a section on books or media about iTunes.  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  15:46, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure, it could. That wouldn't mean it would be sensible to merge this article, though. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:47, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh very well. Delete, advertising for a non-notable product.  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  15:48, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * So how do you judge notability? It meets the standard, after all. --badlydrawnjeff talk 16:02, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, two independent reviews (even if one is "capsule") seems like just-barely enough to pass our minimum requirements, especially with a passing reference thrown in for good measure. I will admit that the topic seems almost inherently spammy, somehow, but if this were a book named "Fauna of Lake Baikal", I would pass it without a second thought, so, overcoming my prejudices against the topic, I have to concede that this is, probably, barely, good enough.  (Won't weep if it goes, though.)  Xtifr tälk 18:33, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * smerge to an EL under itunes: delete the rest. DewiMorgan 18:23, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete A mention in a cNet article and a couple of reviews (one a capsule and the other one looking like it weighs in at about 300 words or so) in two trade publications does not a notable book make. One can make any number of arguments that the book satisfies the absolute, rock-bottom "requirements" for inclusion, but it's hard to come to any other conclusion than that this book is prima facie non-notable.  Oppose merging as per badlydrawnjeff's argument on the tenuous topical relationship between the book and iTunes.   --Dynaflow   babble  05:00, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep sources we have now are light, but enough... no real harm in seeing if the article can be improved and more sources found. When in doubt, don't delete. --W.marsh 00:40, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
