A Future Not Far[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unreferenced, no assertion of notability per Wikipedia:Notability (books), can't find any mention of it online. Proposed deletion contested without comment by article's creator, who is also the author of the book. Gurt Posh (talk) 11:24, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I agree that the article has failed to meet the notability requirement. Completely unreferenced and difficult to find any reference or information about mentioned book online. Jacob-Dang — Preceding unsigned comment added by JacobDang (talk • contribs) 13:47, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't delete. I disagree, it is simply a book which is still waiting to be published. 90.213.74.81 (talk) 17:08, 19 July 2011 (UTC)— 90.213.74.81 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

If it hasn't been published yet, then how is it notable? Gurt Posh (talk) 10:21, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP:RS is not optional. Possibly COI issues. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:12, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per WP:INDY, "Any article on a topic is required to cite a reliable source independent of the topic itself, to warrant that an article on the topic can be written from a neutral point of view and not contain original research." Additionally, almost all of the editing of the article has been done by the author of the book in question; see WP:COI, and I think the policies on someone writing/editing their own bio are also applicable (see WP:BLPEDIT).

Speedy Delete Per G11. WP:CRYSTAL and self-promotion. No assertion of general notability, no independent sources, and article is written as promotion of a book not yet published, by the author, so WP:COI. Fails every section of WP:NBOOK. BusterD (talk) 16:34, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
