WP:GNG. It's hard to see what this is even about, never mind if it should have an article. Ari T. Benchaim (talk) 01:56, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Applying the duck test, this looks and quacks very much like OR, since the single cited source is apparently the book itself, if Google translate is accurate, and the overall writing level is very much not the standard academic English style one would expect if this were based on existing sources. The level of detail is obviously excessive (this looks more like a book summary for, I don't know, a high school class, than an encyclopedia article). The writer does not appear to be notable either, so the claims in the article that this is a book by a great writer seems almost like dubious aggrandisement. Thus, fails both WP:NOR and WP:V.

Delete Author is non-notable, and no external sources besides that of the book itself. Spiralwidget (talk) 10:59, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete going to need better sources for this to meet any sort of notability guideline, and I can't find any (on the subject or the author). Gnomatique (talk) 00:01, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
