Fails WP:BK. No source in google search ,,.  Otolemur crassicaudatus  (talk) 14:48, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete, per WP:SPEEDY (Recreation of deleted material). -- JediLofty UserTalk 14:52, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete also protect the article name from re-creation. The user has a single purpose account solely for promoting a (self-published?) book. --Madchester (talk) 14:57, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, as this needs to be put to bed. G4 does not apply, since the article was speedied (full disclosure - by me) under G7 when the author blanked the page. My comments from the first AFD (an hour ago!) still stand, though - in the absence of sources that establish notability per policy, the article should be deleted. Being the most comprehensive guide in a field is a good claim of notability, albiet a minor one; we need an independent source that confirms this, and my searches are coming up empty. I note also that the book is scheduled for publication on 8 July of this year, bringing WP:CRYSTAL into consideration. No ISBN has been issued, which indicates that the book is not a major publication (otherwise, it'd have an ISBN when it's this close to publication). The publisher, LuLu Press, appears to be a self-publishing house, so that's another indication of a lack of notability. UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 15:17, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete, per WP:SPEEDY. --Explodicle (talk) 15:50, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as it fails WP:BK and is unverifiable due to lack of sources. Google search finds only one non-Wikipedia result, which is a page on Facebook and not a reliable source. --Snigbrook ( talk ) 16:30, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BK. JohnCD (talk) 21:15, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

 * A note was put on the article itself by an anon IP, which I removed and moved to the talk page. However, since this is really the intended audience, I'll post it here as well.  "NOTES TO WIKI-STAFF: There are some issues with speed deletion on this page being flagged, i'm attempting to fix any concerns you have over this page. Please bear with me.  Google sources - Keep watching, they'll be coming within the next few days.  ISBN number - will post up once it has been announced." gnfnrf (talk) 21:09, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, Delete. I don't normally believe in the google test, but for a computer related subject, 5 ghits, only 1 independent of wikipedia, is pretty damning. gnfnrf (talk) 21:09, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
