The Phoenix Lectures

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This is an article, completely composed of WP:OR, about an out of print book that is not actually itself written by L. Ron Hubbard, but is a compilation of a series of lectures. I searched through multiple databases, and I could not find a single, secondary WP:RS/WP:V source that independently analyzes, reviews, and gives significant discussion of the The Phoenix Lectures. In a search of other books that mention "The Phoenix Lectures", I was unable to find any significant discussion, beyond a passing reference. If there is indeed enough significant coverage in secondary WP:RS/WP:V sources, I was unable to find that in a search of multiple databases and book indices. At present, the article itself contains zero independent, secondary sources, and only references the book itself. The external links section contains 2 links to self-promotional Church of Scientology affiliated websites, and both links are not working or are inactive. Cirt (talk) 04:03, 11 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as par nomination. to expand the nomination it dosn't give any information about the book outside of the form it was delivered in, no referances on how scientology uses the book or what its significance to the orgonization is.  Fails notibility standards since Hubbard didn't write it (it is an edited version of his lectures...).Coffeepusher (talk) 04:40, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per Cirt and Coffeepusher. -- ChrisO (talk) 08:48, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Unreferenced and unimportant in itself, and adds nothing to other Scientology articles. (Unless someone finds something of note by rooting around in old issues of The Aberree.) AndroidCat (talk) 09:29, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
