The white prisoner

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Cannot see this book having any notability independant of its subject. Title is unsuitable for simply turning into a redirect. Risks becoming a POV fork of the existing biog. TheLongTone (talk) 23:45, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not seeing any mainstream, reliable, independent reviews. Ping me if such sources are added and I'll revise my vote. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 23:59, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Seeing the new sources, the coverage seems good, through I cannot verify it myself. AGF abstaining from this discussion. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 22:22, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment: I think that the issue here is that the book was never actually released in English, only Bulgarian. Once I started searching in Bulgarian (using Google Translate) I started finding quite a bit of results. Problem is, I don't speak/read Bulgarian, so I'm going to try to find someone who does so they can really do something with the sources I'm pulling into the page. Offhand I'd say that if this doesn't pass muster for an individual entry, it would merit a mention on the athlete's page. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   05:28, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Galabin_Boevski with history. I found some sources, but I can't really tell how in-depth they are or how many of them are really usable. Some of them definitely look to be by Bulgarian newspapers, but I can't really tell which ones. Because of that and because I can't really seem to easily find a Bulgarian speaker (the WP seems to be dead), I would recommend leaving the history intact for when/if someone who is fluent can find enough sourcing to merit an individual entry. If someone can find this before the AfD is over, I'd be willing to change my "vote" to a keep. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   05:47, 12 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment Article creator left the following on my talkpage, thought it belonged here:


 * Here is a brief list of sources with their internet editions, who are reviewing the book, they are on Bulgarian language


 * Bulgarian national newspapers: 24 hours:, Monitor: Trud: Duma:


 * TV- Here is interview with the author of the book Ognian Georgiev at the morning show of Nova TV – one of the national TV stations in Bulgaria on 11 January. Starting from 54 minute.


 * Radio-Here is interview with the author at the national “Darik” radio station with one of the most popular radio announcers Nikolay Kantchev. Here the author was asked if he plans to translate and to Publish the book in Portugal and he answered that probably first it will be published in Germany, because Boevski competed in a German club years ago.


 * The book is published in Bulgaria just 20 days ago after the huge interest of the arrest and sentence of the Olympic champion Boevski 2 years ago, which was noticed by the news around the world from Europe to New Zealand


 * Unless this book provokes a wider political scandal I don't see that this coverage is independant of the subject matter, and the notability of book 20 days old ...too soon.TheLongTone (talk) 20:13, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
