-Scholar google search for the author gives 51 hits.

- Scholar google search for the book gives 21 hits (straight 18 + 3 for "non art" rather than "nonart").

- Those numbers are respectable and in my opinion the article should not be deleted. Ykantor (talk) 19:26, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The number of hits of the author has no influence on the notability of the book.

John A. Walker, one of the most important art critics wrote about the book: "If Avital's diagnosis of art's illness and his proposed cure are correct, then this is a highly important volume." (The Art Book 25-26, Volume 12 Issue 2, May 2005) Tzahy (talk) 03:58, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
