The International Handbook of Space Technology

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article PRODded with reason "No independent sources, no indication of notability. Does not meet WP:NBOOKS". Article dePRODded by creator, who stated on the talk page that this book is notable because it is published by a leading publisher and a Chinese translation is in preparation. The evidence for the latter is a tweet from one of the editors of the book, obviously not a reliable source. And I gingerly suggest that being published by Springer is in itself not enough to make a book notable. There is one reference, but that is behind a paywall and I cannot see it, but even if it is an in-depth review, one is not enough to satisfy WP:NBOOKS. A Google search only renders some links to book sellers and a few library catalog entries, no hits on Highbeam or JSTOR. Randykitty (talk) 09:53, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Delete. Per nom. However, I would reconsider if the article is edited to establish notability per WP:NBOOKS. Astro4686 (talk) 04:03, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Delete. Nominator has it described well with no independent sources, etc. I tried accessing the paywalled sourced, but can't do so even with my university account. The book could become notable given time, but WP:CRYSTAL until then. Kingofaces43 (talk) 04:21, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
