The Pakish Identity

 * – ( View AfD View log )

An apparently self-published print on demand book (publisher Outskirts Press). After checks via Google, Google Scholar etc, I can find no evidence of the book being reviewed by any reliable source, let alone the sort of evidence required to meet Notability (books). The single external reference is as much about the author's musical career as the book, and looks  questionable regarding independence, notability and journalistic standards (see 'submission guidelines': ). I think the case for deletion is quite clear-cut: regardless of the merits or otherwise of the book, it doesn't meet the notability requirements for an article.
