Non-notable book lacking GHits and GNEWS. Appears to fail WP:NOTBOOK ttonyb (talk) 23:53, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep:
Just hit the news button above,it has even been covered by the Los Angeles Times! The book is so popular in Egypt and is part of a very popular series of blogs that has been printed in Egypt!--Dyaa (talk) 23:59, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Edit: Take a look here. Scroll down a bit in here and a scan of an article in an Italian newspaper can be also seen (too bad I don't know Italian :)). A youtube video of a TV interview is also visible on the right side bar. It was also a bestseller in Cairo International Book Fair (too bad I can't find a reference for that online). Moreover, the book has its own page in the Arabic Wikipedia (i.e. it is notable in one Wikipedia and should be notable in the other, I don't know if there is a rule for that)!--Dyaa (talk) 00:23, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. The article in la Repubblica identified above provides significant coverage, as does this from China Central Television. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:39, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep. More Coverage: BBC News, Washington Post, The Independent, Arab news, The National (UAE), Europa (Italy), Wuz (Italy), Straits Times and Sveriges Radio (Sweden) . This seems to be an issue with the english translation of the book's title. English news articles use different variations of the book's name and hence do not show up in Google immediately. But using the author's name to search in google, produces much coverage in RS. What we have here is a book widely covered/reviewed by mainstream media in Sweden, Singapore, China, Italy, USA, UK, UAE and Egypt. --Sodabottle (talk) 19:34, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
