The result was keep. Strong consensus that there is sufficient independent review coverage of the subject to enable satisfaction of WP:NBOOK (non-admin closure) Nosebagbear (talk) 19:49, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NBOOK in my opinion, as the Publishers Weekly review seems too trivial and short. wumbolo ^^^ 15:27, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Agree that this fails WP:NBOOK. Auldhouse (talk) 15:48, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: The book has received at least two reviews from newspapers, the Washington Times and The Guardian. I can't find the Independent source, but if that could be found that would be a nice addition as well. Booklist also reviewed the book, which should be seen as reliable given that it's from the American Library Association. It also received a review from Lituanus, so this should pass NBOOK.

• Keep – Meets WP:BOOKCRIT per review coverage, such as [1], [2] and [3]. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 15:58, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The book covered in the article "has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself", so it passes WP:BOOKCRIT#1. Bakazaka (talk) 06:06, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: The Independent site's dire search facility hasn't helped verify the Alan Sillitoe's listing of it as a 2003 book of the year in "The Independent on Sunday", but even without that the Guardian and Washington Times items should suffice for WP:NBOOK criterion 1.

• Keep per sources provided by Northamerica1000.—Mythdon (talk • contribs) 07:46, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Sufficient coverage in reliable sources. Neither delete argument is convincing here. --Michig (talk) 09:39, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep due to coverage in reliable sources. Passes WP:BOOKCRIT. Knightrises10 talk 14:31, 13 October 2018 (UTC) WP:SOCKSTRIKE[reply]
