Labyrinth - A novel about the Software Industry[edit]

Self-published by vanity press iUniverse, Inc., ranked 2,138,129 at Amazon for the paperback, no ranking for the hardback. Non-notable author whose homepage is at angelfire. User:Zoe|(talk) 04:24, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This book was published by Writers Workshop Kolkata, a small but prestigious publisher who published authors like Vikram Seth for the first time. Due to the limited distribution of Writers Workshop, this was republished.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Seanturner25 (talk • contribs) 04:39, 10 November 2006

Delete - non-notable. Wait until it's a bestseller. –- kungming·2 | ^(Talk·^Contact) 04:42, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No indication of notability for the book or the author. Wait until it's even a decent seller, or gets reviewed by notable publications. Fan-1967 04:44, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This is an Indian novel. Do we know whether or not it's a good seller in India, or are we basing "notability" on US notability? --Charlene 08:48, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The author is originally from India, but the bookseller links are purely American. No indications of any Indian publication or distribution. Fan-1967 15:01, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above. Nothing but prestigious. Bubba hot ep 15:03, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, until this can be properly sourced. Not asking for a bestseller, but appropriate coverage by a third party would suffice. Daveydw ee b (^chat/_patch) 23:07, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
