Understanding Train of Thought (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Combined nomination for a NN biography & book. Article makes the claim that he is author of a "best selling book" titled Understanding: Train of Thought. However, this book is published by AuthorHouse which is a self-published, print-on-demand publisher. The person has only 10 Google hits[1] and the book only 9[2]. Authors fails WP:BIO and the book fails WP:BK. Prod was contested without comment. -- JLaTondre 17:59, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete. Self-publication doesn't confer notability. Accounting4Taste 18:21, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete Per nom and above. GlassCobra (talk • contribs) 20:27, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete both as the notability is not asserted.--JForget 00:19, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Wait and see if the book is still remembered in a year or so. It's too recent in my opinion to know if its notable or not. of course, I'm just another IP address here.--190.74.124.4 02:26, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a crystal ball... -- Kl4m ^{Talk Contrib} 01:38, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep. The book is within the scope of WikiProject Books WP:BK and the biography is within the scope of WikiProject Biography WP:BIO. Dragon390 17:21, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

^^Above account is a SPA/sockpuppet in case it wasn't obvious. See contribs. -- Kl4m ^{Talk Contrib} 01:38, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete both per well researched nomination. The first, an unreferenced article, fails WP:BIO. The second fails WP:BK, despite Dragon390's claim. Both are products of single purpose accounts. Victoriagirl 18:41, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
