The Present (book)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The book the article discusses does not meet WP:BKCRIT. Even then, what little information is available regarding the book comes from what appears to be a primary and likely unreliable source. I am hesitant to call this article a hoax, as you never know with religious topics, but it most definitely has the aspect of one.

The primary contributors to the article have been User:Thefoolonthehill8, the creator, and User:Johnnybgoode100 who has done some mild vandalism by removing tags. They have both been notified of this AfD.

The last addition of content was over a week ago. WingtipvorteX  PTT   ∅  23:13, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. All valid concerns of this being a promotion aside, there is simply no notability here. A search brings up nothing that would be usable as a reliable source. I wouldn't say it's a hoax necessarily- the book does exist, but that still doesn't make it notable. This is only borderline promotional, so I'm not sure it'd get speedied even if it was tagged with G11 . Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   03:47, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete The main claim to notability is leading (but not yet winning) a competition set up by college students. Does the book or contest have any coverage in reliable sources? Neither is easy to Google for (lots of irrelevant results), but I certainly can't see evidence of references establishing notability and it doesn't meet any other requirements of WP:NBOOK. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:01, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
