[edit] Hong Kong Minerals
A Google search of the book & its publisher does not seem to establish notability [1]. --Uthbrian (talk) 03:01, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- Weak keep - The book in question is by C.J. Peng, published by Urban Council, Hong Kong in 1978 (not 1983 as per article) with a new edition in 1991. Weak keep as noted as reference reading by Hong Kong Museum of History for exhibit on The Natural Environment [2]. I would consider this article a case of highly specialized Academic books. -- KTC 04:58, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

- Delete - Content is too short to establish notability. --Hirohisat Talk 01:29, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - no doubt a "highly specialized academic book", but this in fact pretty much establishes that the book itself is not a good subject for an encyclopedia article. Books like these have limited circulation and fame, and as such are not notable. Would make an admirable source for an article on the geology of Hong Kong, no doubt. - Smerdis of Tlön 13:47, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
