A WP:BEFORE scan shows only one review that could count here (this looks like a blog and doesn't read like a review), and no awards were found on Google or ProQuest to satisfy WP:NBOOK. The page links a self-published Patch.com article and a blog, which does not count. Page is an orphan with no place to redirect to. Ineligable for proposed deletion after somebody deleted a prod for a speedy deletion in 2013. -1ctinus📝🗨 11:30, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I also found an article in a Daily Herald; it's behind a paywall and is basically just an announcement for a book reading. Otherwise, there are no reviews on common sites, including Publishers Weekly, Kirkus, Booklist, and Library Journal. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 15:07, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the lack of significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. The subject does not meet Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria.
The book's website, https://www.xtabentum.com/reviews.html^{Internet Archive}, does not list any reliable reviews. This indicates the book is not notable since my searches for sources also did not find any reviews or coverage beyond what the nominator and Significa liberdade listed.

Delete per all. Doesn't pass WP:NBOOK. Shooterwalker (talk) 21:18, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
