Wolfram: The Boy Who Went To War

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This book is not yet published, and there is no evidence given that it meets our criteria for notability. Dougweller (talk) 20:02, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

The author of this book is the well-known and best-selling historian Giles Milton. (Best known for Nathaniel's Nutmeg, which was serialised on BBC Radio 4 and achieved UK sales of over 500,000). The book is to be published in UK, USA, France, Greece with many more countries bidding for foreign rights. The book is published in two weeks time: the article is in line with other wikipedia entries on contemporary books. I do not believe there are grounds for deletion - only, perhaps, for editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IllustratorCollage (talk • contribs) 23:23, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * CommentIt should be mentioned in his article when published, but none of his other books have articles yet, which is one reason why I took this to AfD. If they'd all had articles I doubt I would have done anything else but make sure it didn't say it was already published. As it stands this looks like a promotion only article.

 * Comment The publication date is added now. I'm told there is significant media coverage of book over coming weeks - national press articles and reviews. Footnotes will be added once these have appeared. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IllustratorCollage (talk • contribs) 12:49, 28 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Giles Milton. There is no coverage about this book in reliable sources right now.  Stating that there will be coverage in the near future is speculation.  Sepculation is not a replacement for actual sources. -- Whpq (talk) 14:26, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
