The result was keep. A merger can be discussed elsewhere and probably should involve the disambig page SoWhy 16:12, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No indication of notability. I could not find reliable sources to prove the notability. --Mhhosseintalk 11:32, 7 August 2017 (UTC) Mhhosseintalk 11:32, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Czar for the sources. The subject's notable with them. However, I can't withdraw as "delete" is already casted. --Mhhosseintalk 13:21, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well, you can, but the discussion just can't be closed early unless @TheMagnificentist agrees. I still think it would be hard to write a full-featured article with the above sourcing. It would be fine to cover the autobiography in the author's article, though. czar 18:38, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I had a feeling the Book Review Index online database was incomplete, so I looked up the physical volume. There are a few more published reviews from the period, but they're short (51–500 words):
Bookpage May 2001, p20
New Scientist v170 May 5, 2001, p45
Newsweek v137 March 19, 2001, p62H
Publishers Weekly v248 April 23, 2001, p60
My recommendation remains the same, but there you have it. If someone were to ever dig up these sources, the book could warrant a separate article, but until we can verify that the older reviews have any useful content, it's best to spin out summary style and merge only then czar 18:53, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Czar's merger proposal. What do you think @TheMagnificentist:? --Mhhosseintalk 05:51, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't been part of the conversation, but briefly looking over the sources, czar's recommendation of summarize and merge seems very reasonable and of due weight. --Mark viking (talk) 18:40, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
