The Pact (three doctors)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Completely unsourced, no publisher or author - who are the "three doctors". Is it an autobiography or a novel? No evidence at all of notability, beyond an unsourced cliam of charting in a US local newspaper, most of text is a plot summary  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  07:53, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. This appears to be about the non-fiction book The Pact by three men who made an agreement not to fall victim to "the Street". I'm going to clean it up, but I'm going to say that it's definitely notable, as it's used heavily in schools and is the focus of The Pact (2006 film). It just needs a LOT of cleanup.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   08:44, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've pretty much re-written the article from scratch, linking to the appropriate sources and whatnot. I admit that the early article was fairly rough and if not for seeing a ton of these sell at various local bookstores in the "required school reading" areas, I wouldn't have been able to immediately identify it. In any case, it now passes WP:NBOOK, although I notice that most of the articles for the Three Doctors are in need of a lot of TLC.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   09:46, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment Many thanks, Tokyogirl, it's not recognisable as the same article. I'm happy for the article to stay if someone will formally close  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  11:36, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
