All New Electronics Self Teaching Guide

Article subject is a book for which no reliable sources are provided and no assertion of notability is made in the article which meets the criteria of WP:NB. The title gets a large number of ghits but all the ones I looked at were either bookseller's advertising or were blogs and forums that had been spammed. After the first three or four pages of results I am now bored with trawling through them. It seems to me that this article is just one more item in an internet wide spamming fest for this book. Possibly there is an article in there, but the authors are going to need to identify the reliable sources first. SpinningSpark 15:11, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: For reasons given by nominator. There is a single link to this page, from Electronics, but this seems inappropriate since the book is intended for the hobbyist and is not a general reference.--RDBury (talk) 04:57, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete per nomination and Notability (books). The book might be notable, but the article certainly doesn't show or claim it. Seems like WP:PROMOTION. • Anakin ^(talk) 15:57, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and Notability (books). While its hard to get info to show notability for some books which probably deserve articles, i suspect most textbooks and how to books dont cut it, unless they were the first in their genre or have some unusual quality which helps them stand out. Its up to author of this article to show special reasons for this books notability, which they have not.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 16:07, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
