Self-published book ("A A. Alvarez Publishing"); major contributor to this and A. A. Alvarez appears to be the author. Rd232 talk 15:01, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. While I think being self-published books can be notable, in this case I'm not so sure. A vast majority of the reviews seem to either be user-reviews or places that are designed for authors to actually review their own books. I could find no independent sources after a quick search. And though it's possible that digging deeper might reveal some, if the author (which I think is a reasonable assumption in this case) can't locate any news sources or press, it's a good chance that none exist. -Addionne (talk) 16:22, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Notability not established by coverage in secondary sources, although it looks like a good book. It would be better to start with an article on the author. -Steve Dufour (talk) 17:51, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Just double checked. There is an article on the author, but it's up for deletion too. Anyway he should keep trying. If you can sell the movie rights then WP will be all over it. -Steve Dufour (talk) 17:52, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
