non-notable book. I originally speedied it but evidently A7 doesn't apply to books so here it is.-- ugen64 17:36, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That seems pretty notable to me --MarSch 10:08, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Twenty-three out of -- how many? 2,500? -- colleges and universities in North America? That's about the total number of colleges and universities in Washington State alone. Seems pretty unnotable to me. --Calton | Talk 15:09, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I was right about to vote delete (though it pained me to vote to delete a scheme book) before MarSch posted. Anywho, per WP:NB, being the text book for courses at multiple universities is sufficient for notability, bookwise. Someguy1221 10:13, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. but I hope MarSch can provide the websites if someone bugs him for them. Someguy1221 10:14, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's a textbook, so (surprise surprise) it's used by some schools. If your only references that discuss this are lists of schools using it, it's nothing more than a directory listing. --Calton | Talk 15:09, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
