I cannot find sufficient coverage in reliable sources for this to meet the basic threshold for notability. Auxentios (talk) 19:41, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Unreferenced article with only 1 external link. Ngrewal1 (talk) 21:27, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete a non-notable work. Since this article is about a book, and not the subject of the book, I moved it to the media category, since media covers books.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:11, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- we cannot have an article on every book. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:26, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the book certainly exists but it's far from notable Spiderone 22:55, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Easily passes WP:NBOOK and WP:BOOKCRIT. Cataloged by National Library of Australia.[1] It has been subjected to multiple detailed reviews and detailed mentions by scholarly sources:

Y.G. Bhave (2005). Modern Hindu Trinity : Ambedkar-Hedgewar-Gandhi. Northern Book Centre. pp. 6–. ISBN 978-81-7211-163-2.
Mushirul Hasan (13 March 2019). Legacy Of A Divided Nation: India's Muslims From Independence To Ayodhya. Taylor & Francis. p. 33. ISBN 978-0-429-72121-2.
The Quarterly Review of Historical Studies. Institute of Historical Studies. April 1993. p. 93. K. S. Lal , Indian Muslims : Who Are They .... This is a thought - provoking monograph by Professor K. S. Lal who , as the author of the widely acclaimed History of the Khaljis, needs little introduction to the students of medieval Indian history. Though slim in size, it bears the mark of the same serious scholarship as characterized the author' s earlier works.
Ashok Kumar Ray (1996). Religion and the Secular Man. Wheeler Pub. ISBN 978-81-85814-20-9. One of them , KS Lal , makes the astounding statement ( in Indian Muslims , Who Are They ? ( p . 114ff )

Keep per sources provided above. Meets WP:GNG. Shankargb (talk) 03:51, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The nomination was a failure of WP:BEFORE as the subject meets WP:NBOOK. Eliko007 (talk) 04:04, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete None of the criteria of WP:BOOKCRIT is meeting here. I have already verified all the links posted above. Mention of the book in the catalogue of University, passing mentions in other books etc only prove that this is not a hoax article, these do not justify notability. The bar has been set higher as we cannot have article on every book. Walrus Ji (talk) 17:12, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as WalrusJi argues. There is are no in-depth reviews. TrangaBellam (talk) 20:40, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Walrus Ji. Book exist but there is no in-depth reviews. --আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 22:14, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I found 17 citations on Google scholar and look through the majority of them. Nothing indicates that this book is notable in any way. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 02:02, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
