Fails WP:SIGCOV, first reference is from a primary source which is not independent of the subject's creators. Second source seems to just be an announcement of the creators' book about the tax, not very reliable. MaterialWorks _(talk) 19:37, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(not that I have very inclusionist preferences)

I think this article is important, and I have improving it on my TODO list. I would be sad to see it deleted, and just reuse this as a template when reviving it in the future. Niplav (talk) 12:30, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The first three results that I get by clicking on the word "books" in the nomination are [1], [2] and [3], all significant coverage in independent reliable sources. There are plenty more books and academic papers with coverage. Phil Bridger (talk) 08:38, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Not to mention [4] Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 14:06, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Sources presented by Phil Bridger and the Journal of Legal Analysis article linked on article talk (same as the link I just gave above) establish GNG clearly. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 14:07, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
