Unremarkable book, creator's username suggests that the article was created by the book's author. Was seriously thinking of tagging this as A11, but the fact that the book was actually published made me think otherwise. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 07:37, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There's no coverage out there to show notability and getting published by Leadstart isn't exactly something that would gain instant notability either. They're the type of publisher that asks their authors to help contribute funds towards the publication of their books. It's not entirely self-publishing, but it's not terribly far off from it either. Of course that doesn't mean that a book can't gain coverage, but this isn't exactly like someone getting published through a company that asks for zero money.

This could probably be speedied as spam, given the tone of the article as well as the author's userpage. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:05, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
