I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (books) requirement. " It was deprodded by }the creator with the following edit summary: "A book of poetry quoted by RAI Television, by newspapers as "La Repubblica", "Corriere della sera", invited for presentation at important Festival as "Salerno letteratura" and judged by Barberi Squarotti as "a very good book" is without doubts notable". While I don't read Italian, the references seem to mention the book in passing. No reliable source has presented a review of it, nor does it seem to won any awards that would give it automatic notability. The creator should be advised that not all books are notable, and his attempt to promote Menotti Lerro by stubbing every work he created is not proper for the encyclopedia. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:57, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

:Dear Piotrus, thank you for writing it. I just want to let you know I like this poet and his amazing opera so, if you don't mind, I like working on projects about him because I think he earned it. In my opinion the book is notable, as in yours is not. And I respect your point of view. All the bestSellysellyheart (talk) 08:51, 18 May 2015 (UTC) [reply]

PS

I want to let you know that - at the least in Italy - it is almost impossible to be quoted "in passing" (as you wrote) in that newspapers, ecc. if your work is not really apreciated, in particular for poetry and more for not very "old" and "famous" poets...

@Sellysellyheart: Dear Sally, I appreciate you writing about things you like (see my comment on your talk page), but if you want to have this article kept, please address the question I posed, namely how does it pass the Wikipedia:Notability (books) requirement. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:10, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Piotrus, I think you are missing the point: I was telling you about 'my aim of working on things I like' to make clear that it is not my intention to "attempt to promote the author stubbing every work of him" as you said, but just because I like his work and I tried to propose it at the community. If they are not enough notable for it, doesn't matter, the community will decide it, but, please, do not write I am attempting at something (bombs like that, in this historical period could be dangerous... ;-) ) Is it making a sense for you? You seems to me getting too seriously your role and position... ;-) Do whatever prefer: delete, cut, break, ecc. I don't really mind. I give up! Take good care! And happy writing and deletions ;-) Sellysellyheart (talk) 16:14, 19 May 2015 (UTC) per WP:SOCKSTRIKE Kraxler (talk) 16:10, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Menotti Lerro; only receives passing mentions, and there's little content to be merged, if any (I'm skeptical about quotes in praise of a book sourced only to the publisher, as it may be quoted out of context or there may be a connection between publisher and quoted person).

It's impossible to redirect something to a WP:REDLINK. Kraxler (talk) 16:12, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Note that User:Sellysellyheart has been blocked as a sock puppet. We've deleted the other books by Menotti Lerro in the last week, and are considering deleting his page as well unless more RS are found. LaMona (talk) 00:45, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
