Study in Consciousness

[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This book by Annie Besant is not notable and is already covered by her biographical page and so is an unnecessary content fork. Google news has two articles about this book, the newspaper articles are from 1908 and 1933. There are some mentions in Google Scholar but the work was not ground breaking and considering how long it has been around is very poorly cited. The article should be deleted. I can see no details that are reliably sourced for merging to the main biographical page. Ash (talk) 17:36, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It is interesting to have an article about an early example of a book on consciousness studies which became so popular during the 1970s. However, the article does need more sources. Keraunos (talk) 08:15, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(note) Interesting, a question of opinion, does not address the issue of notable as per the nomination. Refer to WP:INTERESTING.—Ash (talk) 19:55, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
