Waking the Tiger
This was voted for undeletion. Accordingly per procedure I am relisting on VfD. I currently have no vote on this article. If I decide otherwise I will enter an explicit vote below.
 * The article was originally entitled "How to Heal Traumas,"
 * The original reason given for deletion was "Barely coherent, New Age-ish, unreferenced essay with a special guest appearance by Medusa. In cleanup for more than 6 months. Completely idiosyncratic non-topic."
 * The original debate is at Talk:Walking_the_Tiger/Archive:Votes_for_deletion:How_to_heal_traumas.
 * The article at the time of deletion is essentially the identical to the oldest revision of the current article.
 * The second VfD debate is at Votes_for_deletion/Waking_the_Tiger; most of the delete votes argued that it was re-creation of previously deleted material, most of the keep votes argued that it was a new article about a reasonably notable book.
 * The VfU discussion centered on the issue of whether this is a re-creation of material voted for deletion, or completely new material. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:08, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Votes
 * Keep, seems notable enough. --SPUI (talk) 00:27, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, I just edited the article and added a lot of hedging. Previously it was unacceptably presenting as true the various theories about the author.  (I know nothing about this alleged book.)  Tempshill 00:38, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I change to abstain; my edits were only to make the factual claims barely acceptable in the event it turns out to be a keeper; I don't endorse the continued existence of the article. Tempshill 00:44, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. I'm unsure of its notability, but I'll give a 2,183 Amazon sales rank the benefit of the doubt.  No judgment from the previous VfD should carry over to this substantially different version.  Postdlf 00:41, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * The deletion of this article at the close of the last round of Vfd -- which reached no consensus -- is itself procedurally questionable. Be that as it may, IMO, we must make a decision about the article as it exists, not to enforce some procedural pet peeve.  Keep, by the way.  Jgm 02:48, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Amazon rank over 10,000 Suggests this is a notable book. Klonimus 04:17, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Book's notability is established. Sjakkalle 07:51, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per the above. Radiant_* 07:59, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, cleanup and expand. Seems notable. Megan1967 08:20, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 'Keep and expand. Oliver Keenan 14:53, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Voted undelete in VfU. Notable in my view. --JuntungWu 14:45, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems OK to me. --Monoet 16:40, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. There are worse things you can write an article on than a book you can buy in bookstores and order from Amazon. 24.4.127.164 05:19, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
