:::Nowhere in [[WP:NBOOK]] do I see any provision that makes mere ''citations'' '''not''' relevant to establishing notability. —''[[User:Ruud Koot|Ruud]]'' 14:10, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

:::But silly policy wonking aside, if 47 authors thought it was a good idea to refer their readers to this particular book, then that's probably a good indication the book is indeed quite notable. —''[[User:Ruud Koot|Ruud]]'' 14:15, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

::::[[WP:NBOOK]] states criteria for establishing notability. If mere citations are not on the list, it means they don't qualify. But if you can convince other editors to add language to [[WP:NBOOK]] that supports thatyour reasoning, I'm on-board. I don't think that's going to happen.

::::: I fail to see why such a thing would be necessary? —''[[User:Ruud Koot|Ruud]]'' 14:19, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

::::: Conversely, I doubt you will be unable to convince other editors to add any language indicating citations from other book are not to be used to determine notability. —''[[User:Ruud Koot|Ruud]]'' 14:24, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
