Doesn't pass WP:NBOOK. After controversial statements from the author, the publisher decided not to publish it; the author chose to self-publish in August 2023. Aside from the one review from a small newspaper, I haven't found any coverage aside from the controversy, which is discussed on the author's page. I've checked for reviews on Kirkus, Booklist, Publishers Weekly, and NY Times, as well as a general Google search. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 01:00, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep subject is notable. Eric Carpenter (talk) 02:08, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi, Eric Carpenter! Can you provide evidence to show that the book meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines for books? If you can find three reliable, independent sources with significant coverage of this book, I'll happily withdraw the nomination.

- Delete as not an article-worthy topic in its own right, i.e., not apart from the downturn in the author's career. The relevant subsection of the bio page already says pretty much everything that needs to be said about the book, and it takes less than two sentences to do so.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Merge with Scott Adams: Book isn't notable, is a piece of the Adams life story though Oaktree b (talk) 00:54, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Or just !delete, for all that's listed here, it's hardly worth even keeping around. Oaktree b (talk) 20:43, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Scott Adams: there's nothing to merge. Other than the opening line, which is already covered by the target, the entire article is a content fork of Scott Adams#Race, and has nothing to do with the book. Owen× ☎ 01:04, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nominator. The entire substance of the article is a separate news story which, as XOR'easter described above, is already detailed at the author's article. The book itself has no notability and fails WP:NBOOK. The central story here is the author's loss of a publishing contract, not the book itself. Delete. Οἶδα (talk) 20:42, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Scott Adams per User:OwenX above, reasonable search term but not independent notability given the lack of reviews or similar coverage. Eluchil404 (talk) 23:18, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
