1000 Crime Quiz

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

While the author is a notable person in his field, his books about quiz or popular science do not seem to enjoy a particular notability. Their mentions in the web are either in sites directly related to Prof. Aggrawal or in sites where the books are sold or advertised. Other reasons for and against have emerged in the talk page for 1000 Crime Quiz. (Full disclosure: I had nominated Prof. Aggrawal and his journal for deletion, but the consensus emerged has persuaded me that he and it are notable indeed.)

I am also nominating the other articles about books by Aggrawal which, like the first one, do not seem notable, while the articles tend to have an advertising slant (large excerpts, bold claims etc.):

Redirect Narcotic Drugs to narcotic and delete the rest. None of the articles establish any significance of these books beyond their author. Cmprince (talk) 14:28, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There already was an AFD for Forensic and Medico-legal Aspects of Sexual Crimes and Unusual Sexual Practices (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) here, which was closed as a delete and redirect. The author re-created the page in contravention of consensus. I have reverted the page to a redirect. Ray^Talk 11:29, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirecting to Anil would be good for all except Some Common Ailments, The Book of Medicine, Narcotic Drugs, Modern Diagnostics and Health Quiz Book. These titles are so generic that redirecting to Anil would not make sense.Cmprince (talk) 14:02, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, JForget 13:21, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Endorse Cmprince's proposal. It sounds like a good solution. None of these books appear to meet WP:BK. Ray^Talk 02:19, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Cmprince; these are advertisements for a series of non-notable books by a just-about-notable. The articles seem to have have been written by the man himself. pablo_hablo. 08:41, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:FP for reasoning
