An unsourced article on a self-published book which has been here since 2009, essentially unedited other than maintenance fixes. Guy (Help!) 22:46, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Doesn't meet WP:NBOOK: I can't find any reviews or other coverage, awards, or anything to show it's other than a run-of-the-mill academic book. Lots of people get their doctoral thesis published, and neither thesis nor author is necessarily notable as a result. --Colapeninsula (talk) 17:07, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Unreferenced article about a person whose only claim to fame is a self-published book. Even the title of this article is unacceptable and should have attracted a delete nomination long ago. Thanks for catching up to it, Guy. --MelanieN (talk) 03:26, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete With almost no exceptions no work self-published by a vanity press is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:24, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no need for the book to have a separate article from Charles Bukowski. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 12:37, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
