Delete all per nomination. Google News results show very sparse reviews, and the books don't seem to propose anything definite enough to constitute a significant advance to human learning: The Oz Principle uses examples from L. Frank Baum's novel to portray the journey down the yellow brick road as one of self-discovery wherein the characters learn that only they themselves possess the power to fully realize or change their lives. The authors extend the metaphor of Dorothy, the tin man, the scarecrow, and the lion by describing the heart, courage, and wisdom needed to acknowledge, accept, and deal with circumstances and events as they are. The result is a willingness to accept responsibility, which leads to individual and organizational accountability. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:47, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and WP:NOTADVERT. No significant coverage in independent reliable sources which could indicate the article can meet the requirements for inclusion either. Acather96 (talk) 07:25, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
