::::: 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)
*'''Keep''' The problem with NBOOK is that it's geared toward literature and fiction, not textbooks, which is what this is. It's the single best known textbook for a major programming language. Full disclosure--I own a copy and have met the author socially once. The citations mentioned above are really an appropriate measure of a textbook's worth--no one issues awards for technology textbooks, nor studies their authors, nor teaches classes on their influence on popular culture... you get the point. NBOOK criteria 2+ are essentially irrelevant to the entire field. [[User:Jclemens|Jclemens]] ([[User talk:Jclemens|talk]]) 05:52, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
