Self-published book, does not appear to meet WP:NBOOK. The only reviews I could find were on a wordpress blog and a web forum. The book is mentioned in this HuffPost article, but it doesn't seem to be significant coverage (it's one paragraph in a much longer article about Marion Davies herself).

This could potentially be a redirect to Marion_Davies#Hearst_and_Cosmopolitan_Pictures or Marion_Davies#Filmography, but the capitalization would need to be fixed first. Ahecht (TALK

• Delete per nom. It also got a passing mention in another HuffPost article, but that's about it. We'd be patsies if we thought there was buried treasure here. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:52, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Createspace book with a couple of Huffpost entries by Thomas Gladysz - not even close to NBOOK.Icewhiz (talk) 13:43, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is the only contemporary book about the films of Marion Davies, and she is having a critical resurgence. There has also been a surge in new DVD projects of her silent films. I don't understand the comment about capitalization. I see no errors in the entry. Thanks. Drednm Drednm (talk) 17:16, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My comment about capitalization is that if this article is about a book title, it should be The Silent Films of Marion Davies, and if it's redirected to Marion_Davies#Filmography it should be at Silent films of Marion Davies. --Ahecht (TALK

• Delete - Fails WP:NOR/WP:V in that it talks about the book without an additional source (for instance, how do we know that she starred in exactly 30 silent films?). Possibly fails WP:NPROMO. Without secondary sources, WP:NPOV issues are possible as well. Smmurphy^(Talk) 02:26, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
