The Winning Way

This article is about the book, which is not notable under WP:BKCRIT. Even though it's author has a article on Wikipedia, The book itself fails to meet the notability criteria on Wikipedia. Max Viwe &#124;  Your Turn  11:34, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment I don't want to !vote now because I agree that the article didn't establish notability but I believe it may be notable. I just wanted to remark so anyone else looking for sources knows to look for sources for the book's full title as well "The winning way: Learning from Sport managers".

 * Keep The book is getting more and more popular these days. As of notability; try a Google Search and you get plenty of notability. Also, the author, Harsha Bhogle is a famous sports manager and perhaps every Indian knows him (Well I got Off-topic to Harsha Bhogle). Research and you'll get it.

 * Keep. Notability guidelines are not cleanups. Clearly, it has published reviews, which substantiates an independent notability. The matter that this topic fails a guideline is irrelevant to the matter of this topic's notability itself. It can meet other guidelines if it would fail GNG, such as "not temporary" and "verifiable" sections in WP:notability. --George Ho (talk) 20:39, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - it does pass WP:GNG and as far as WP:BKCRIT is concerned, it is not notable. According to WP:BKCRIT, this article fails point number: 2, 3 and 4 also little 1. It only passes point 5, but its author is notable and thus this doesn't make the book notable. → TheSpecialUser TalkContributions* 01:35, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * WP:BRCRIT may not apply to this topic, but the topic is still notable. In fact, it may have a plot that inspires reviews, and the notability guideline about books are not totally absolute. Also, the article is encyclopedic and well-written. --George Ho (talk) 03:35, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
