The Man Who Invented the Third Reich

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Based on the sparse, unflattering comments at amazon.ca, no reviews is probably a good thing all around, but that means WP:NBOOK isn't satisfied. Not even mentioned in the author's article. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:20, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. I'd say that this should redirect to the author, but his own page is questionable in its current state. I tried looking for sourcing, but the best I could find was a Booklist review and this one sentence mention in a book about Arthur Moeller van den Bruck. It seems like it was pretty solidly snubbed as far as the academic and scholarly crowds go and pop culture sources didn't pay much mind to it either.

 * Well, looks like the author may be notable, although he may not necessarily want an article since it would mention the plagiarism allegations about him that was brought up in articles like this one. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  10:28, 18 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete. I see that in their usual thorough, commendable way has totally revamped Stan Lauryssens such that it now does mention this book, but the book itself is not notable and it's such an implausible search term—and potentially NPOV redirect—that I'd say deletion is better than redirection here.

 * Delete. I can't find any additional sources, so fails WP:NBOOK. AleatoryPonderings' argument against a redirect is persuasive. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 22:49, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect. I couldn't find a single review of the book in acacemic works. 25 citations on Google Scholar. Low impact. But I have no objections to redirect if the book is mentioned in the author's biography, WP:CHEAP. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:51, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
