Non-notable book. No claim of notability made in the article. Unable to find reliable sources on the net either Raziman T V (talk) 20:06, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As the author said in an edit summary, this book is "still unknown to the great public because of the very few copies published." Cannot find reliable sources (the author's Linkedin profile doesn't count); this doesn't come remotely close to satisfying any of the criteria of WP:BK, for instance being "the subject of multiple, non-trivial [independent] published works." --Glenfarclas (talk) 20:21, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - does not meet the requirements set out at WP:Notability (books), and it seems highly unlikely that it ever will. Also, the article reads like advertizing. Blueboar (talk) 20:49, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - lack of independent reliable sources sufficient to establish notability. MikeWazowski (talk) 04:17, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete non notable author, advanced dork shows only self published material. I removed the spam, but there is something left. A small something. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:42, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep-I've read the book. It is an outstanding contribution to the theme of the double, which is drammatically turned into an eternal confrontation with the self: an erudite fusion between Poe's "William Wilson" and "Highlander". The historical research is also impressive. It is listed in the Deutsche National Bibliothek under the voice "Belletristik", which in that country, means the top of quality for literary works.
