Speedy delete as blatant advertising; there's a link to the Amazon sale page, and the article appears to be merely a synopsis of a non-notable book. However, the book may become notable as press picks up on it, as it apparently has with Schweizer's other book. --/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 02:11, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep Appears to pass the notability guideline for books as it has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works which are independent of the book itself (e.g., 1 2 3 4) --/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 02:35, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It's not blatant advertising. It seems like an objective description of the book. Note that it already has received some media attention: [1]. Zagalejo^^^ 02:24, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply Point taken, I've changed my opinion above. --/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 02:35, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect to the (welcoming) stub article on the book's author - Peter Schweizer. --brew crewer (yada, yada) 16:59, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, and for the same reasons as Mendaliv; the number of independent reviews and interviews by the author is quite large, especially considering how new it is, (to mention reviews in non-fringe[2], [3], [4]).--Aldux (talk) 21:11, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
