The legend of the 10 elemental masters

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

This book doesn't seem notable. Googling on Google Books, News, and News archives for "the legend of the 10 elemental masters" "nick smith" turned up the book itself, two other book hits which were false positives, and a Maltese article (translation) which is more about Smith than the book, spending only a few paragraphs discussing it. I'm also unsure of the reliability of the source. Overall, the book seems to fail the general notability guideline, but in the event that I've missed something, feel free to prove me wrong.

 * Delete. I don't think the author meets the notability criteria, definitely the book doesn't QU TalkQu 20:56, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. There's just no coverage in any reliable sources to show that this self-published book is ultimately notable. Zip. Zero. What doesn't help is that through my searches I discovered that this guy is one of those poor saps that seems to have gained the attention of ED, so even if it was notable there would still be the chance of this being a lulz magnet.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 03:38, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
