This book fails the General notabiliy guidelines - there is no significant coverage in reliable sources is are independent of the subject. If this article about a book were to meet the "GNG", it fails WP:NBOOK, as it is self-published - see www.archive.org/details/TheSeparationOfGodhead

Bad faith has nevertheless been assumed. Good faith should almost always be assumed.--Shirt58 (talk) 11:50, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. What criteria are you basing this on? Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:21, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Very good point, and point taken. I did not advance any particular cogent reason for deletion in the initial nomination, other than precedents. I will modify my nomination rationale asap. Thank you for your very constructive criticism.--Shirt58 (talk) 10:51, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- You're welcome. Don't worry, I've messed up some nominations by forgetting the closing brackets (]]) for a couple days. That was embarrassing! Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:16, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. As noted by Shirt58, this does not pass WP:GNG or WP:BOOK. Google turns up no reliable sources. Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:16, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- My delete stands for the added nom as well. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:29, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Fails WP:Notability (books). Neither book nor author can be found on Worldcom, Google Books or Amazon. The claim to be published by OUP is false - note that no ISBN is given. The book has been self-published on-line and can be seen here - click on "Read On-line." The first page says that it is by someone else. Three passages of text I checked at random have been copied from here, here and here. I have added to this nomination The Divine Love of Rahasa Lila by the same author: delete for similar reasons: no ISBN, no entry in Worldcat, Google Books or Amazon, sample text I checked was copied from here. Background: this is part of a long campaign of self-promotion - many articles about the author have been submitted under different variations of his name, using over 20 sockpuppets - see SPI case.
