Book with no indication of notability, couldn't pull up anything on a Google search, this maybe completely false or a WP:HOAX as far as I can tell. -War wizard90 (talk) 03:49, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. I don't think it's a hoax, but rather something published in another language. This looks like it was written by someone who is struggling with English (ie, not their first language, which is probably Ukranian considering that many of their articles are Ukraine related) and at times it somewhat comes across like it was run through Google Translate. I'd tag this as a speedy for promotion, but this isn't as bad as it could otherwise be. Barring someone from WP:UKRAINE finding sources in another language, I don't think that this work is particularly noteworthy. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 06:49, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
- Delete: a poor translation of article Марево давнього Львова at the Ukrainian Wikipedia, about a book about the history of Lviv. Note article Lviv through the ages by the same editor, which corresponds to the Ukrainian article Львів крізь віки, another book on the same subject. הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 21:47, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

- Comment: Марево давнього Львова contains two sources that might provide substantial coverage about the book: I cannot read the sources. But would someone who can read the sources look into whether they are reliable and provide significant coverage about the book? Cunard (talk) 00:33, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
- Delete unless someone presents reliable sources that indicate that the book is notable. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 06:13, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
