The Zero Option

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This is a historical novel by an Australian writer. It tells of a fictional conspiracy surrounding the shoot-down of Korean Air Lines Flight 007. It has not received any significant reviews that we can find, though the Australian Broadcasting Corporation did publish an article about it. The author of the article, user:Bert Schlossberg, is essentially a single purpose editor with a website devoted to the KAL 007 crash. The book does not seem to meet Notability (books).

 * Being an essentially "single pupose editor with a webite devoted to the KAL 007 crash" says a lot about me, nothing about the issue at hand. "It has not received any significant reviews that we can find, though the Australian Broadcasting Corporation did publish an article about it." contains the word "though". I see no reason for mininizing what follows the "though" and of course there are the capsule reviews mentioned on the "The Zero Option" discussion page Bert Schlossberg (talk) 18:05, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The standard requires that the book have been "the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works". One article does not suffice. I can't find when and where the one-line reviews were published, but if they are only a few lines long then they are probably "trivial" for the purposes of this discussion.

 * Delete. This book is not notable enough to deserve an encyclopedic article. --Loremaster (talk) 18:40, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. No reviews on Google Books, not listed on Amazon, not listed on Barnes and Noble - only the publisher appears to have it for sale.  Concerns about COI, given the article creator's links to rescue007.org, and the prominence he has given in linking to this fictional article from Korean Air Lines Flight 007.
