The Rifle And Hound In Ceylon

 * – ( View AfD View log  Rifle And Hound In Ceylon Stats )

This is a book published in 1847 by Sir Samuel White Baker. All the references do is confirm that it exists. Any information of interest can be incorporated into the article about Baker. David notMD (talk) 11:28, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. No evidence of notability. The first source cited is a list of known copies of the book. The second seems also to be to a catalog of books, though I can't be sure as the URL provided gives a 404 message. I've searched myself, and found nothing better – mostly just pages listing copies of the book for sale. Maproom (talk) 12:19, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment The doi connects to the Lorimer ref. It does not contribute to notability. David notMD (talk) 12:55, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Samuel Baker. Not enough to merge, I don't think, and agree that Lorimer article doesn't give us much to go on. A few other namedrops in scholarly sources but no sustained critical comment. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 14:15, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
