The Minds' Game[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable self-published novel. Topic content apparently posted completely by book's author as promotion; all content is in-universe. Uses external links to Amazon store as sole reference; other references include a blog post and a dictionary. No sign of notability. Mikeblas (talk) 14:22, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - article, apparently written by the book author, with no evidence of notability. Google search came up almost empty (and several hits are false positives to boot). Note: I also nominated the article creator's original draft version in userspace under CSD U5/G11. GermanJoe (talk) 21:49, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above. It's borderline promotional, but not to the point where I'd say it could be speedied, although the author's intent to promote the book is pretty obvious. I will remove the Amazon purchase link from the article, though. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:26, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NBOOK. A google search brings up nothing useable, only book download sites and some blogs. Coolabahapple (talk) 17:01, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
