The Wandering Man

 * Delete - Non-notable, probably vanity. (No more bongos 22:05, 23 July 2006 (UTC))
 * Comment I've never heard of it but it's not vanity. There are links to sites where you can buy the book (notably amazon), so it is real. What are the qualifications for a notable book? -Royalguard11Talk 00:53, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Well, actually selling it would help. Amazon sales rank is "None". Translation, they've never sold one. Fan-1967 01:00, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: WP:BK has some criteria, which this work clearly does not meet. -David Schaich Talk/Contrib 01:07, 24 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete as non-notable. The author has no Wikipedia article, nor is any Jack DeBell article in the deletion log.  In fact, I suspect the author, "teen writer Jack DeBell", is Jack332355, whose only contributions to this point have been to this article.  The book itself has no reviews and a sales rank of "None" on Amazon, presumably implying no sales.  The publisher, iUniverse, is a vanity press.  It all adds up to WP:NN.  -David Schaich Talk/Contrib 01:03, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete in that case then. -Royalguard11Talk 01:10, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
