The obsidian wall

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Article about a self-published e-book. Wiki article was written by the author. Promotional in nature. Qualifies for deletion under WP:SNOW. Man way  06:41, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I couldn't find any sources on Google News or Books. — Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 06:45, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, I removed much of the promotional language, and cut the article in size by more than half. — Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 06:45, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. There are zero reliable sources for this book. A search for the title and author brings up a paltry 68 hits, most of which are merchant sites, this Wikipedia article, and mentions of the AfD. No notability here.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 07:03, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * By the by, I know we've all stated that we need to have a speedy category for books that don't appear to be notable- anyone know where to go to start working on this?Tokyogirl79 (talk) 07:07, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * But of course - that would be WT:CSD. — Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 14:01, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Although you will need to search the archives - it has come up before a few times. — Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 14:08, 15 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. Good luck to the author with the book and everything, but the work fails WP:N, to say nothing of WP:CONFLICT and WP:NOTPROMOTION. Dave.Dunford (talk) 18:55, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
