This appears to be a random book by a non-notable author, added when the Wikipedia world was young in 2004. Pinkbeast (talk) 23:43, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article already had one good reference, a review of the book in Nature, and I just added three more reviews from other reliable journals. So it clearly passes WP:BKCRIT #1 (subject of two or more non-trivial published reviews) and WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:34, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per David Eppstein's multiple review finds. --Mark viking (talk) 10:35, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
keep per David Eppsteins comment, and the nominator says the author is non-notable, but he has his own Wikipedia article David Goodsell. Christian75 (talk) 07:57, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Author non-notable - David Goodsell did art for the book. Pinkbeast (talk) 14:46, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry; you are right Christian75 (talk) 17:39, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - He doesn't have a Wikipedia article, but that doesn't mean he's not notable. As a fellow of the APS he passes WP:PROF#C3 and his high citation counts likely also give him a pass of #C1. He also won a notable award, the Emily M. Gray Award. In any case, it's not very relevant to the separate notability of this book. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:46, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

SNOW Keep in light of David Eppstein's findings. --Sammy1339 (talk) 15:37, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
