The Snow Papers

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A book that appears to be non-notable. The article is currently unsourced, and when I looked for sources, I was only able to find one review from a reliable source, from the Washington Post. And while it was a good source, it, by itself, would not be enough to pass WP:NBOOK or the WP:GNG. I initially PRODed this, but failed to notice it had already been PRODed back in 2006, so I am bringing it to AFD as a result. Rorshacma (talk) 16:24, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete The contemporaneous WaPo review is more about Smart than this book, no clear assertion of notability here. Reywas92Talk 20:12, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - I've had this on my watchlist for awhile, and I couldn't find any in-depth reliable reviews. My Newspapers.com account is lapsed at the moment so I can't search it fully, so if anyone has that it might be worth a peek just in case. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 20:25, 13 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep book and author got quite a lot of coverage when the book was published, I have added enough of the coverage to the page to establish notability.IceFishing (talk) 20:33, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I can see an argument for moving this to a page about the author; the coverage I read is about the book, though often in the form of articles about stuff he descirbs in the book, or about him and the stuff he did as a member of a category or group of cocaine addicts in high-level jobs. But I could see more coverage that I didn't read or couldn't access.IceFishing (talk) 20:49, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
