I believe this WP:VANITY-press published book fails WP:BK rather plainly. Not notable outside of WP:FRINGE circles. jps (talk) 18:12, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not notable. I don't see any reviews, and the article has none listed. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:12, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is borderline promotional in how it's written, but it looks like it would just narrowly squeak by a speedy via that outlet. In any case, I can't find anything to show that this book is ultimately notable enough for an entry. I would say redirect to the author, but there are many of them- making it impossible to decide which one is the more feasible redirect target. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:26, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not notable. This article looks more like a table of contents than an encyclopedic entry. Chris Troutman (talk) 07:06, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Not notable and written as an originally researched promo. LuckyLouie (talk) 16:27, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not notable per reasons outlined above. Finnegas (talk) 11:39, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - it's a cut'n'paste from some amateur X-Files. --Salimfadhley (talk) 00:37, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The article about this book's author Richard Thieme may be in violation of the policies concerning biographies of living persons: WP:BLP, specifically notability. --Salimfadhley (talk) 00:40, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - it is snowing outside and online. Bearian (talk) 22:36, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This book was reviewed in a collegiate library review journal, Feb 2013, Vol 50, No.06. The book received a positive recommendation and amongst the comments was, "A Useful Resource of the study of a controversial topic." This is a history book and not an X-File book. It is not unusual for history books within Wikipedia to have brief descriptions of their chapters listed. This was done in The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, The Twelve Caesars, and The Communist Manifesto — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.113.59.173 (talk) 00:53, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
