Zen Without Zen Masters

The comment at the bottom of the article was inserted in response to a PROD, and I took it as a contestation of the PROD. However, this only convinces me that the book is a worthwhile reference to be used in articles about its topic, but that does not confer the book itself enough notability. Delete.

Delete no evidence of notability; token article--barely a stub. JJL (talk) 01:39, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Wow, I don't even understand this "article". Tavix (talk) 02:49, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No assertion of notability to meet WP:BK criteria. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 02:57, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Tavix and general states of confusion. J-ſtan^Contribs_{User page} 04:12, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I don't know about you over there in the US, but over here in Germany (maybe all Europe), that is quite a famous book. The article requires much cleanup, but notability isn't a problem from my POV. Can not give sources, though. --.Tom. (talk) 12:50, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Then, sadly, it would fail WP:V. If you can find some sources and write a better version of the article, I don't think anyone should have a problem with it. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 16:23, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
