Soon to come book, no independent reliable sources found about it, the author doesn't have a wikipedia page so it's not notable through that. -Zeus-^u|c 00:59, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Sources at [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]. Also a bit about the author's background here - [10]. There appear to be 2 different titles for the book in different provinces. ArticlesForRedemption 01:11, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This appears to be a page for a book that doesn't exist (yet?). Vampyrecat (talk) 01:23, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has pages for lots of things that are yet to exist (Jackass 3D, Bel Ami (2011 film)) and some things that will never exist Star Wars sequel trilogy, Something's Got to Give). ArticlesForRedemption 01:34, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. It will be about a notable person, but at present, there are no references on the article itself and it's almost a speedy delete for lack of content. I'll gladly change to a full-blown keep if it's significantly expanded. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:45, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The Los Angeles Times item is enough to establish notability. - Eastmain (talk • contribs) 07:23, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete while its true that LA times covered A lady gaga bio, it didnt cover THIS bio, which is from a nonnotable publisher (follow the bouncing isbn). the la times article book, from overlook, probably deserves an article.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:48, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:BK#Not yet published books. The sort of advance notices cited don't mean that "anticipation of the book is notable in its own right" - that's meant for something like a new Harry Potter. JohnCD (talk) 10:29, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
~~Merge and redirect~~ to a one-line mention in the Lady Gaga article, if there is sufficient source for that. When the book comes out, it may be appropriate to remove the redirect and improve the article to reflect release and reviews. By the way, the LA Times review is indeed of this book, I've reasonably confirmed that the article is correct and this is being released in the U.S. under one name and in the U.K under another. So the Brits and the Yanks can have a war over which title gets the prize, its very own shiny new Wikipedia article. Both would be mentioned at Lady Gaga. As to the Lady herself, my, my, my. Perhaps I should do more research on this. Tough job, but someone's got to do it. --Abd (talk) 19:57, 24 February 2010 (UTC) see new !vote below. --Abd (talk) 16:44, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How have you 'reasonably confirmed that the (LA Times) article is correct and this is being released in the U.S. under one name and in the U.K under another'? SunCreator (talk) 16:25, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at ArticlesForRedemption's sources above and at the L.A. Times article. Notice [11] for Amazon UK. Notice same author, same subject. And more, I saw more when I looked. Not difficult. Sure, to say "same book, different titles" in an article might require better sources. But that doesn't mean we have to ignore the obvious. --Abd (talk) 16:41, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Lady Gaga until such time as it can satisfy WP:CRYSTALBALL. SunCreator (talk) 20:16, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep. (change to !vote above) There is adequate evidence that the release of this book, both in the U.S. and in Great Britain, is imminent. The LA Times article is evidence of notability, and there is plenty of other mention of this, Amazon is offering the book(s), etc, so the guideline at WP:BK#Not yet published books is satisfied. A temporary Merge could be done, but why bother? No Harm. --Abd (talk) 15:27, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The author of this book is Virginia Blackburn, who uses the pseudonym Emily Herbert. ArticlesForRedemption provided the source for this, but didn't make it explicit. I'm suspecting that the author, under one name or the other, is sufficiently notable for an article, but have not verified this yet. --Abd (talk) 16:54, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
