contested prod. Does not meet WP:NBOOK. Not finding significant coverage in 3rd party sources. Web hits are largely to sale sites. Only a single news hit. Not finding reviews in reliable sources. RadioFan (talk) 16:30, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The reviews I read of the book were in The Mirror and at languagebooks.suite101.com/article.cfm/mess_of_iguanas_whoop_of_gorillas_group_terms. The creatures of Prometheus (talk) 09:14, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I think the Mirror reviews make it just notable enough, Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 10:00, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete - Got mixed up with the policy again. Has to be covered by "multiple, non-trivial sources", Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 10:03, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Tim Song (talk) 01:06, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the only assertion of notability is made by the publisher and seems pretty weak; there are no independent sources attesting to its notability (or anything else). It therefore fails WP:N. - DustFormsWords (talk) 03:38, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete Per Spongefrog - the book needs multiple sources and the Mirror is the only strong coverage it received. Warrah (talk) 19:03, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
