Utterly non-notable book written by page author (self-disclosed at Talk:Ahmed Khalfan). Fram (talk) 16:37, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Literature and Economics. Fram (talk) 16:37, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
A publishing license for this book is available if you would like to see it. Ahmedkkhalfan (talk) 17:12, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for lack of independent coverage. (Couldn't this have been a WP:CSD#G11?) Schazjmd (talk) 16:44, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is a licensed and published book. Ahmedkkhalfan (talk) 17:11, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
But it isn't notable. There is no independent significant coverage of it. Schazjmd (talk) 17:12, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Define significant please. I have an article for it covered in all local media. Ahmedkkhalfan (talk) 17:14, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Ahmedkkhalfan: Two pieces of independent, reliable coverage is generally enough to meet NBOOK. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 17:16, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean by reliable? Ahmedkkhalfan (talk) 17:17, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

News, journals, academic books, magazines sometimes. On a side note, is this book published, and does it have an ISBN? ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 17:21, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Utterly non-notable? Why the attitude? It’s not a personal matter. What exactly is your issue? Ahmedkkhalfan (talk) 17:15, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a personal issue with me, I’d like to know how we can fix this. Would you like to take this offline? Ahmedkkhalfan (talk) 17:16, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Ahmedkkhalfan, please remain civil and avoid personal attacks. Best, Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 17:53, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Fails the NBOOK criteria of two pieces of coverage, can't find anything online other than the author's social media. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 17:32, 14 February 2025 (UTC) edited 17:42, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Full disclosure: I have just blocked the account that created this article. While there are a handful of non-COI edits from back in December, much of his edit history has been controversial - primarily COI editing. His assumption of WP:BADFAITH of ARandomName123 did not help either.

That aside, this book fails WP:NBOOK pretty solidly. There's nothing out there for this book - if we had a speedy nomination for books, then this would certainly qualify. Now, since the author is likely to read this - this is not a statement about the quality of the book. The concern here is that the book has yet to receive any sort of coverage in independent, reliable sources like newspaper articles or the other types of sources mentioned by ARandomName123.

Just to clear things up, I'm pretty sure the comments from Ahmedkkhalf (17:15 and 17:16 comments) were directed at Fram or Schazjmd. I made my comments shortly after. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 19:28, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the correction! ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 21:07, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete - this is literally promotional in my opinion. Limmidy (talk) 19:02, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
