Promotional article about a book with no clear notability; appearing on a list of best-sellers in Calgary is not sufficient to meet WP:NBOOK, and there are no other references about the book. power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:19, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Deletion of this page would violate ATD, PRESERVE and R because the page on this book could be merged and redirected to the page on its author. James500 (talk) 08:43, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, have been unable to find anything useable with a gsearch, unfortunate that references cited in the article are not viewable, according to WorldCat, book is available at around 24 libraries thruout Canada and the USA (quite an achievement for this kind of book and the lack of trade reviews), problems/issues with spas/sockpuppets and COI are a matter of concern (may be another case of a new editor not realising the seriousness of these issues), with the recent spate of articles on some of Brennan's other books looks like a case of WP:PROMOTION (although i do acknowledge James500 points).
