The World of Anna Sui (2017 book)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This book is an advertising vehicle for a fashion designer. It's an utterly non-notable topic. Slashme (talk) 08:02, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

Review of sources listed: --Slashme (talk) 08:11, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * abramsbooks.com - publisher's website; not independent.
 * thebookseller.com - basically an advertisement for an upcoming book.
 * amazon.com - commercial website; doesn't establish notability
 * books.google.com - the book itself; doesn't establish notability
 * vogue.com - prospective article about the book in a major fashion magazine. Might go some way towards establishing notability
 * fmtlondon - A brief article about the exhibition, mentions the book in passing
 * businessoffashion.com - an article written by the author of the book; not independent.


 * Delete. Cannot see enough coverage in reliable sources, and the article is also promotional in nature. Vanamonde (talk) 08:24, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. The book has not yet been published - Amazon is taking pre-orders, and it is not yet in any libraries.  But it may become notable once it has been published--Anna Sui is a famous designer; other books have been written about her; the publisher is Abrahms, a major very highly reputable art books publisher; the author has written about other people in fashion,. I find it truly absurd when a firm that is actually famous and about which there is abundant real press, thinks it appropriate to hire or assign someone to engage in a publicity campaign on Wikipedia. This and related is the sort of work we usually see about organizations and people who actually need the attempted advertising.  The effort seems to be focused on the firm's perfumes division--see Articles for deletion/Secret Wish Fairy Dance.  DGG ( talk ) 19:16, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Searching found nothing helpful. One independent RS with significant coverage is not enough. Fails WP:NBOOK. Gab4gab (talk) 13:02, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with nom/DGG. CAPTAIN RAJU  (✉)   21:57, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
