The result was   redirect to Devaneya Pavanar. The general consensus is that this content doesn't belong in the encyclopaedia and that the title should merely be a redirect to the author. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  20:37, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

The Primary Classical Language of the World

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Article is about a non-notable book that pushes a fringe theory. Article does not pass any of the criteria set out at WP:Notability (books) - Google scholar shows next to nothing, Amazon lists it as out of print. No awards. etc. Raw Google search shows that it has received some limited notice on pro-Tamil fringe websites, but that is about it. Blueboar (talk) 17:44, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Note from nominator... Merger to article on author has been suggested. Blueboar (talk) 17:52, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Since pavanar's crackpot historical theories are already covered in his article, this is unnecessary. This book alone is not sufficiently notable.--Sodabottle (talk) 18:27, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete more than adequate coverage of this mans ideas in his own article, and a section of the article on the history of the term Lemuria. enough already.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 19:06, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable WP:Fringe. Buddhipriya (talk) 19:16, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * redirect to Devaneya Pavanar, as we usually do with book titles failing WP:BK with authors who do pass WP:BIO. --dab (𒁳) 15:53, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * redirect to Devaneya Pavanar as it was originally there. Rajan (talk) 16:43, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the author's article, as the book does not seem to be notable. Hans Adler 17:47, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Devaneya Pavanar, as per dab. rudra (talk) 10:57, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the author or delete. I'm not sure whether we should redirect every book title of every author who passes WP:VIO or AUTHOR, but it wouldn't do any harm.   DGG ( talk ) 14:43, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to author - I like the idea of redirects for books of notable authors when the particular book is not notable enough. --Rocksanddirt (talk) 00:00, 17 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Redirect to author Wikid as&#169; 14:51, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge with Devaneya Pavanar. The book is not notable, but it's notable within the works of its author. Kostja (talk) 18:54, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
