Spammy article about non-notable book. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:43, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This book is actually has huge value in philosophy and literature fields. Please do not judge based on awards or popularity. And it can be improved a lot. — Preceding Killerlxt comment added by Killerlxt (talk • contribs) 19:28, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There is not enough source material independent of Bruce Lee's book to provide content to the Wikipedia article. The Wikipedia article itself mostly is made up of a Wikipedian's selection of passages from the book. I found a few sources, such as The Business Insider, but there's just is not enough from which to write a Wikipedia article. The closer can redirect to Bruce Lee.-- Jreferee (talk) 12:03, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. If kept, there needs to be significant improvement and removal of promotional material. 069952497a^{Comments and complaints}_{Stuff I've done} 21:25, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have attempted to improve the article on those grounds. 069952497a^{Comments and complaints}_{Stuff I've done} 21:33, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What remains of the article is largely direct quotes from the book. Is it a copyright violation to have a mass of brief quotes like that? If not, how about moving the quotations to Wikiquote as WP:NOT recommends? ("If you want to enter lists of quotations, put them into our sister project Wikiquote.") I didn't find any reviews in the Google news archive. [1] —rybec 11:01, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Non-free content has stricter requirements that copyright and WP:QUOTEFARM goes into some detail as well. Either way, the article cannot overuse non free quotes any more than it can overuse non free images. -- Jreferee (talk) 12:16, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and deleted the Quotes section. —rybec 20:39, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Advertisement. Gamaliel (talk) 02:02, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Only 150 holdings in worldCat. This is trivial for a popular culture topic like this by an author as famous in their field as Lee. DGG ( talk ) 01:01, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
