The Man's Book[edit]

Does not seem to meet WP:BK, crystal ballery. MER-C 11:16, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

not to delete i don't see any of crystal ballery. this book is of broad interest for at least 50% of the population. Bkenner 13:15, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Time will tell whether The Man's Book becomes notable. Also the article Thomas Fink does not seem to be written/edited by disinterested parties. (The person is notable, but the viewpoint is hardly neutral. See eg Wikipedia:Autobiography.) The article The 85 Ways to Tie a Tie seems fine; sounds like a very interesting book. roundhouse 19:59, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - unless Thomas Fink is up for AFD this meets point one of WP:BK. It did indeed get excerpted (serialised seems overblown) in the Times which seems non-trivial, if not multiple. I don't think the crystal ball part of WP:NOT can apply; the book has been printed and if it does get recalled and/or pulped between now and the 28th, that too will be noteworthy and doubtless verifiable. The trivial facts contained in the article are verifiable. Not exactly enthused about the thing, rather advertorial for me, but there's no obvious policy-based reason to delete it.

Keep per Angus McLellan, though an AfD on Thomas Fink and the whole series may be appropriate. Tewfik^Talk 19:16, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
