The Purity Myth

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Notability of the book is not established. Article mentions "Numerous commentators", but the references provided do no support that. damiens.rf 17:28, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Expand Article is bad, but the book may be notable...may just need a re-write with some good refs — Preceding unsigned comment added by I feel like a tourist (talk • contribs) 17:48, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Magazine Marie Claire interviewed her about the book. Does it counts? Maybe it's a little bit promotional (there's a link at the bottom inviting the reader to buy the book on an specific online library) --damiens.rf 17:56, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. This book was widely reported on and reviewed, enough to meet our usual application of WP:GNG to books. Examples: --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:12, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * If these reviews are ok to fullfill Notability_(books), then the article should be kept (and expanded). --damiens.rf 19:28, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. The sources above are mostly usable, although the Today article is an excerpt. It did help to refresh my memory a little about the book as it's been a little while since I've read it. In any case, there are reviews and such out there and I've put some of them in the article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   05:53, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - highly-reviewed book. Bearian (talk) 19:21, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
