The Gravest Crime

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article about an (unpublished?) essay. I am unable to find any reliable, independent sources that discuss the subject in any detail. Fails WP:GNG. - Mr X 19:37, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment-The Italian wiki is a bit longer and might be able to help on that (I just put the expand language tag) Wgolf (talk) 20:13, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like the it.wiki article has the same issue with sourcing. The sources are the essay itself and another self-published document on the author's website.- Mr X 20:59, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I do not know italian but this article also not sourced. Can someone nominate it for afd there? Seems to be extreme case of misuse of wiki! Educationtemple (talk) 21:34, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete-Per nom. Anyone can write an essay. WP is not a noticeboard for notification about essays. Educationtemple (talk) 20:40, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment-Sorry for not having written enough to conform at Wikipedia's standards. The essay is not just a byproduct of the the author's thinking, it has been reviewed and adviced by several economists-consultants such as L. Randall Wray, Stephanie Kelton, John F. Henry, Bill Mitchell, Alain Parguez etc., perhaps it would be better to add this information into the article.--Marco Sciortino (talk) 21:01, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - It was not appropriate any way to create this article while a full biography article about the subject was already on WP. I can not suggest even for a merger now since the bio also has been nominated in afd. Educationtemple (talk) 21:28, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment-Sorry, but I don't see the point. The aim of the article is to further deepen the knowledge about the essay, what does the author's biography matter? --Marco Sciortino (talk) 21:50, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
OK. Let some other editor explain this point and comment. Educationtemple (talk) 21:59, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Does not meet the general notability guideline. --Inother (talk) 16:46, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The only references provided are to a copy of the ebook and to the author's website. While the article claims "The book is well-known", no references are provided to back up that claim and I can find none myself. The notability criteria requires "significant coverage" by sources "independent of the subject". Therefore, delete unless such coverage can be provided. maclean (talk) 19:53, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
