Western legend[edit]

this is just an article promoting an ebook by the author of that ebook PTJoshua (talk) 23:47, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Article is all plot, including a possible copyvio (the synopsis); nothing indicating notability at all. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:55, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-notable work that fails both WP:N and WP:NBOOK. A google search for "James Allder" "Western Legend" reveals no reliable sources, just a very thorough one-man PR campaign by Mr. Allder to various blogs, message boards and networking sites. According to his own blog, Allder's ebook was only made available for purchase about two weeks ago, giving little time to develop coverage in independent sources. ~~Further, the Amazon Kindle version of the ebook, previously indexed by Google, seems to have disappeared.~~ Steamroller Assault (talk) 02:01, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

and Comment: If this article is to be kept, a massive trimming to the plot summary would seem like a good idea. Steamroller Assault (talk) 02:04, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, non-notable book, article created by author. Incidentally, in order to have a book published with Whiskey Creek Press you must include your own plan for personally promoting the book; I wonder if Mr. Allder's plan included "create a spammy Wikipedia article."

Delete - I can find no coverage in reliable sources to indicate notability. -- Whpq (talk) 16:15, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
