Travels with Li Po

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod. The book does not meet the threshold standards set forth at Notability (books), being available at zero libraries per Worldcat and is not catalogued by the National Library of Ireland, much less any of the inclusion criteria. There are no meaningful independent Google hits (web, book, news) for the title but for a blog which is the only source cited in the article. That reports that the authors were apparently sent a cease and desist letter based on alleged Harry Potter copyright infringement and that that made it into a local newspaper. That news item, even if confirmed with multiple reliable sources, does not confer notability on the book itself, nor does the fact that the artist's group, who apparently self-published the book, appear quite notable and are the subject of a separate article here. As always, the creator of this article (or anyone else) is welcome to show us that "[t]he book has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the book itself," which is the basic relevant standard for encyclopedic inclusion.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 00:30, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete--coverages is minimal. There's one article from the Derry paper "Sunday Journal," and that's it. Not notable. Drmies (talk) 01:02, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
