Wow, Amazon lists this as the 188th best selling Perl programming book. That's notable? |

*::: The fact that "you and I read them" (in the figurative, not literal, sense) would seem like the very definition of notability to me. —''[[User:Ruud Koot|Ruud]]'' 10:59, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
*::::When I went to Amazon.com to look up this book, I searched under books for "Perl programming". I got 764 results (just books) and sorted by "bestselling". This title was '''number 188'''. Maybe we should write articles about numbers 1 thru 187. There was another book with the exact same title with a different publisher and author listed at number 107. This is an obscure book on a very specialized topic with a rather limited audience. That was my point about "you and I read them". IT professionals, especially ones who write Perl code, is a pretty limited subset of the population. --[[User:Rogerd|rogerd]] ([[User talk:Rogerd|talk]]) 14:58, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
*:::::What does that have to do with anything? "Notable" doesn't mean [[WP:ILIKEIT|"I think it's important"]], it means [[WP:GNG|"has significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources"]]. [[User:Chaos5023|—chaos5023]] ([[User talk:Chaos5023|talk]]) 15:12, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
