The Nature and Origins of Mass Opinion

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

This book's independent notability is not apparent. I recommend a deletion, but there may be a sentence or two that can be merged to John Zaller, with a redirect. YechielMan 02:25, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * keep: cited >1200 times according to Google Scholar, which indicates a considerable impact.--Eysen 19:49, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - The article was initially created by copying text from the John Zaller article; I have now made significant revisions (in fact, the main text has been wholly replaced) and additions. As regards notability in particular, the article now discusses the implications of the book for public opinion research and also sources a further article by Zaller that references the book.  The book is a must-read in nearly all advanced American Politics, US Government, or Public Policy courses.  The article could definitely use improvement, but it should be kept for future expansion and improvement. Black Falcon 20:10, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 14:47, 15 January 2007 (UTC)


 * keep if souced Eysen's comment is sufficient for N, but we probably want a more citable source. If the book was well received, there are book reviews. Put them in. Or summaries from some of the review articles among the GS group. Either meets the technical requirements. DGG 23:35, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
