Three Weeks With Lady X

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

non-notable per WP:BKCRIT, all coverage is either about the author with passing mention of the book, all in depth coverage appears to be non-independent (paid reviews) Deunanknute (talk) 18:33, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * withdraw - didn't realize the difference between paid/non-paid reviews (is there a list, or other resource to tell?) Deunanknute (talk) 19:08, 11 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep. The book has been nominated for two Romantic Times Awards (RT being the most widely read magazine focused on romance novels).  All About Romance is one of the premier review sites for romance novel reviews.  Romantic Times is, again, one of the only magazines focused on romance novels.  USA Today is quite certainly an independent newspaper.  The book was also reviewed in Publishers' Weekly and Kirkus.  I'm pretty boggled this was nominated for deletion.

 * Keep. At least some of the reviews are independent (and not paid). While Kirkus does give paid reviews, this (cited in the article) is not one of them; their standard reviews are considered a reliable source. Indeed, in this case, the book in question was named to their Best Books of 2014 fiction list. Likewise, Publishers Weekly has a paid promotion review system, called PW Select, but the review in question is not part of that program. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 18:59, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
