A self published book by author owned publishing company, lacking third party RS coverage. Fails all the criteria of WP:BOOKCRIT. Only has passing mentions in a few non reliable sources. Reference used in the article are primary sources. Walrus Ji (talk) 09:30, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete a non-notable self-published book.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:56, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I'm running into the same issue here that I did with the other book. It is discussed somewhat, but mostly in relation to something or someone else - in this case it's discussed more in relation to Goel's overall arguments and beliefs. I also want to note that it looks like the 1988 and the 1994/5 books had slightly different titles, as I'm finding evidence that the 94/5 (the date of publication seems to differ somewhat depending on the source) was titled "Catholic Ashrams: Sannyasins or Swindlers?". I'm thinking that the sourcing I'm finding could be used to establish notability for the author and include some info about this in his article, but I don't know if there's really enough out there to firmly establish notability for an independent article, at least what I'm seeing in English.

Delete -- If this were restructured so that it was an encyclopedic article on the subject of the book, rather than an article on a book, it might be worth having. However it is not the job of WP to review books. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:25, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:BOOKCRIT. Lacks any sustained WP:SIGCOV in independent reliable sources, and was created by a WP:SPA. Newshunter12 (talk) 20:44, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Newshunter12, very good observation. The creator indeed seems to be a WP:SPA. There are a few more of them creating articles on this author. Walrus Ji (talk) 08:22, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
