Advertisement for a non-notable book. G11 was declined; the page may also qualify for WP:G5 deletion (created by a sock of FilmLover2016) but as one speedy has already been declined and there are non-minor contribs from others, posting here for discussion.

Delete - Article is sourced to an interview and an ANN article that is actually just the Mango Media press release for the book. Though some personal bloggers here and there appear to have written brief reviews, WP:NBOOK excludes those kinds of sources for purposes of determining notability. Nominator is right to call this article an advertisement, as it only exists to promote the book, and Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion (WP:NOTPROMO).

- I would be be fine with changing it to a redirect to Chris Stuckmann. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 20:25, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete does not pass WP:NBOOK, the earlier version seemed advertising as there were at least three references straight to the sale sites, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 18:32, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to Chris Stuckmann as author and per WP:WITHIN. Information about the book can be summarized in his bio in a sentence or two as well as his Bibliography. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:21, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Chris Stuckmann, as author, per WP:ATD-R and WP:WITHIN. Does not meet WP:GNG currently, possibly may be able to be expanded in the future. --Animalparty! (talk) 19:47, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect (to Chris Stuckmann) - since there still seems a dispute over delete/redirect it seems reasonable to comment. Per WP:ATD-R there doesn't seem any reason to delete. That said, there doesn't seem sufficient reliable reviews to warrant a keep. I was going to add another couple of lines to Stuckman's article on it, but the title summarises the purpose of the book to such a degree that another couple of lines is purely duplicative.

Redirect to Chris Stuckmann per --Animalparty! and Nosebagbear. This keeps any useful information where a reader is most likely to be looking for it. Ifnord (talk) 17:43, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
