PROD declined by creator (I assume) - the book does exist but no evidence of notability, would be clear grounds for speedy deletion if that criterion applied to books : Noyster (talk), 13:21, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

• Delete Ok since both speedy and prod were declined, it does not meet WP:notability. Point to be noted is that the page had been deleted twice before under different csd reasons yet the same user has recreated the page each time. I had requested csd under A3 and G3. Strangely, rejection mentions A7 but no mention of A3 or G3. So here it comes - Should be deleted as page has no content. Also by the repeated re creation of article, I am suspecting the author has a COI with the topic . Moreover, the same article was declined twice at AfC.Excrepts from the rejection -

  This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

In order to qualify for an article on Wikipedia a topic must show that they have been discussed, in depth, in multiple independent sources that have a history of editorial oversight and fact checking. We are looking for discussion in well known newspapers or magazines. That material should be summarized, in your own words, and referenced.

Just to explain to Yashovardhan that speedy deletion criteria WP:A3 and WP:G3 didn't appear to me to apply: the article had content, it was about a real verifiable (though totally non-notable) book. By declining speedy before an admin did I was simply moving the process along: Noyster (talk), 18:46, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

@Noyster: Oh, ok! Didn't realize it was you who had declined the request. At least this AfD will help! Yashovardhan (talk) 18:50, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

• Delete - this is a self-published (PoD) book with no independent sourecs, and no sign of notability per WP:NBOOKS or WP:GNG. --bonadea contributions talk 17:13, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

• Delete. There's nothing out there to show that this book is notable. It exists and can be purchased, but neither of those things give notability. On the talk page the article's creator says that the author is a minor, but that doesn't give notability either. I couldn't find any coverage for this book, not even using the India WP's search engine. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 03:44, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
• Delete - Does not make case for book notability. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:56, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
• Update:Speedy Delete - seems like the author is no longer interested. Author has blanked the page. I nominated it for csd. Yashovardhan (talk) 14:43, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
