The Computer That Ate My Brother[edit]

I can't find any reliable sources ~~that show the book's notability~~. Schuym1 (talk) 14:57, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question - what criteria are you using as "reliable sources" to check on this book? Turlo Lomon (talk) 17:02, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification - I see a problem with finding information on this book on the internet since it was written 5 years before the internet became widely used. I think this will require digging into the archives at a library or something. Turlo Lomon (talk) 17:09, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Even without the benefit of a library Worldcat shows that it has been through 6 editions, and is held in 352 US libraries, plus libraries in the UK and Australia. A GoogleBooks search shows 2 scholarly publications that cite this book as a source, see here and here. I'd say it passes WP:N. Tassedethe (talk) 17:41, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Based on the excellent work Tassedethe did digging up sources. Turlo Lomon (talk) 17:51, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep plenty of sources out there to prove the book's notability. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 19:04, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
