I'm not sure wether this is an ad or the manual itself but it is ridiculously spammy and should be deleted. Wikipedia is not a webspace provider. duffbeerforme (talk) 06:59, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete perhaps if the book itself is willing to be open-sourced, it could be moved to WikiBooks? The author Pete Herzog also looks like a living person bio that should also go, with no independent reliable sources. W Nowicki (talk) 17:33, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No reliable independent sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG and WP:NBOOK. Certainly, lots of Google hits, but nothing I could find that could be used as a source for notability. This article appears to be WP:PROMOTION. I agree with W Nowicki that the associated Pete Herzog should also be deleted, also for lack of sources to establish notability. Msnicki (talk) 18:47, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
