I see absolutely no need for Wikipedia to have articles on individual books in an annual series, rather than having a simple Guinness World Records article for the book in general. Georgia guy (talk) 16:33, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Reads like an ad. --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 18:12, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Guinness World Records, as the article for the 2008 edition currently does. Note the template at the foot of the page with entries for each year - this template may need amendment also. Ros0709 (talk) 18:51, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, since there are only two annual editions that have articles, and one is a redirect and the other one being discussed here, I believe that template should be deleted. In fact, I am going to initiate a TfD right away. --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 20:22, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Done. See Wikipedia:Templates for deletion#Template:Guinness World Records books. --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 20:33, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Looks like someone read off the Amazon.com page about all the cool things and posted it here. This installment isn't notable by itself. Doc StrangeMailboxLogbook 20:26, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. This has to stop. This is G11/G12 from Guinness. I redirected the 2008 edition by the same editor, but the 2009 edition and the template indicate the editor is just getting started. • Gene93k (talk) 21:15, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Eye-catching sunburst holographic cover? 100 percent new photographs? A pair of 3D glasses? Put this one down on page 315 under "Most pathetic advertisement". Mandsford (talk) 23:30, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per everyone ("this book will be most up-to-date so far" is rather priceless though) nancy (talk) 08:32, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Not sure what else to add, everyone has made a good argument so far. Definitely looks like an advertisement to me. -- Atamachat 17:30, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as advertisment. Redirect and add info to the series article.Yobmod (talk) 09:08, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
