Hi, you can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~~~~.

There were several issues with the article as it looked when it was deleted.

  • It did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts or show that it meets the notability guidelines for books. Although you gave references, they were to sites that were offering the book for sale, so hardly neutral. If you recreate, you need genuinely independent references, and some indication as to how this book fits the indicated notability criteria.
  • The article was a copyright violation, substantially copied from CCH Australia. The page is marked © Association of Accounting Technicians Australia 2011. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy.
  • It was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of claims presented as fact, but without genuinely independent sources, include: comprehensive... addresses many commonly asked questions... covers bookkeeping essentials... The book is recommended by many bookkeeping bodies'

For all I know, the book may be genuinely notable, but you can't copy or closely paraphrase copyright text, and sales sites are never going to be acceptable as reliable independent sources. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:02, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~~~~. That looks fine for an independent source, obviously the concerns about the actual text remain, so you'll have to rewrite in your own words in a more neutral fashion. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:39, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
