This is a non-notable book. The article's citations are almost entirely Wordpress blogs, and I can't find significant coverage in reliable sources. Another problem is that I've already located and removed several copyright violations. There may be more. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:19, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

- Delete. I think that what the book's author is trying to do is very noble, but I just can't see where this book has gained any coverage in places that Wikipedia would consider to be reliable. A look using WP:INDIA's search engine didn't bring up anything that would show that the book is notable either. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 07:38, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

It is not a fair claim to main that this is a non-notable book. At the least you guys should take a look at the quality of reviews and blog posts that this book has been getting in the last few months. Frankly speaking, India is currently plagued with the growing rape culture. In a matter of one year, India has seen 660% growth in the number of juvenile rape crimes. This number is staggering and is extremely socially relevant. The book which we are talking about here is a psychological thriller targeting to wake up the country in slumber by challenging the juvenile justice system in India. The sheer reviews that the book as got on Amazon and Goodreads should tell you guys about the quality of work.
My sincere request is to support the cause and not delete this page calling it "non-notable". That is a slap on the face of the writer as well as the women kind in India.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Xdead10cc (talk • contribs) 07:28, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
- Note: this has been copied from the AfD's talk page, where it was unlikely to be seen. Also, the person who posted this has been indefinitely blocked as a sock puppet of the article's creator. I will agree with Tokyogirl79 that this seems noble. However, Wikipedia is not for righting great wrongs or promotion. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:06, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete all sources cited are either obviously unreliable or don't mention the subject (they're about rape in India or sexual assault more generally). Not notable, even aside from the copyright violations. Hut 8.5 22:48, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. A self published book with no notability in reliable sources and as pointed out, only few (1 or 2?) reliable sources listed there do actually mention the book. At the end it is nothing more than a promotional entry for what could be an interesting read but in the wrong place.--TMCk (talk) 15:13, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
