The Speech: Race and Barack Obama's "A More Perfect Union"

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non notable book fails WP:BK. Don't get me wrong, Obama's Speech most certainly is notable. But this book is not. No significant coverage, perhaps 1 review. Google hits show Obama's speech, not this book. Note: The Huf Post Salit source is not a review, it is a footnote, i.e. less than a trivial mention. Lionel (talk) 20:30, 20 August 2010 (UTC) KEEP! I watched the book panel on C-Span and it was wonderful, I added the reviews from Publisher's Weekly, Salon and the LA Times as well. There was more, I hope this helps. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ohhosnap (talk • contribs) 02:55, 26 August 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete per nom. This book was published a year ago and received minimal attention as a book. As a second choice, slightly merge into A More Perfect Union (speech), where it is already mentioned as a "See also" link. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:50, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep. Reviews which were added establish enough notability for me. Not a lot of attention, but enough for me. --Quartermaster (talk) 01:20, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Per Quartermaster...the reviews reception section looks good to me too. C T J F 8 3  chat 05:43, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
