No evidence of any notability satisfying WP:NBOOK or any other criterion. DePRODded without comment by creating editor. Only "reference" is to the book itself. PamD 22:11, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - if we had a speedy-delete criterion for books, this would be a ripe candidate. The creator of this article clearly needs to grasp the concept of Wikipedia:Notability and should be practicing in draft stingpace and submit articles for review via WP:AFC. ~Anachronist (talk) 22:44, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Per nom - fails WP:NBOOK. Maybe the book itself could be used as a reference to improve the Oswals article, but even that is doubtful; the bits I've read of it on Google Books are on par with the lower-quality self-published genealogy books I've read.

• Delete, although I realize that might seem inconsistent with my !vote on AfD:LDS Biographical Encyclopedia. Some of the differences are (1) the age of the work, (2) the level of detail in the article about the process of writing the work, and (3) the use of the article as a link from citations in other articles.
