When Strangers meet

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

The book fails WP:NBOOK criteria in all aspects and also doesn't pass WP:GNG. It has received reviews in newspapers but not plenty enough to pass GNG. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 14:50, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm cleaning the article and well... I have to say that some of the claims in the article are inaccurate. The claims of the Hindu comparing him to various authors is incorrect. The article is actually about book marketing in general and the only way he's really compared is in how many Facebook fans various authors have- and it's not exactly a direct comparison either. I'll look through the other sources, but offhand I'm very concerned about the misinterpretation/misrepresentation of sources. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 01:58, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete/redirect to K Hari Kumar. Now assuming that the author's article is kept, I'd say that this should redirect to his article. There is coverage, but the coverage is mostly about the author as a whole in relation to the book so I think we can probably merit an article for one, but not both.

Merge to K Hari Kumar (which I recommended to Keep). -- GreenC 04:04, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Withdrawn for personal reasons. I know it will close Delete anyway. This is due to an editor whose involvement here I won't work with and for my own peace of mind. -- GreenC 08:56, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No support for notability. I'd support a merge to the author's article but I'd be astonished if that too is not deleted. Promo/puff pieces, both. - Sitush (talk) 02:38, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
