Article about a book on ninjutsu whose only source is the book itself. Fails both WP:GNG and WP:NBOOK. Jakejr (talk) 00:25, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not because of importance, as I think this book is mof enough importance to possibly deserve and article, but because most of this article is lifted from another internet site and is WP:COPYVIO MartialArtsLEO (talk) 22:00, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No indication that the book is significant and the only source is a fawning review of questionable reliability.Mdtemp (talk) 16:41, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If the book was what the article claimed it was there would certainly be references about it, but there aren't so, either it's very minor of a hoax of some description. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:04, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
