Too Hard To Handle

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

Book fails WP:NBOOKS, and has received no independent coverage in secondary sources. Note that among the listed sources/externals links are a group blog/user-submitted news site, a pay-for promotion site (see this package offering), besides links to author's web/facebook page.

Also see this AFD created by same SPA, who has also been spamming links to the two possibly related subjects onto several wikipedia pages. Abecedare (talk) 02:12, 1 October 2013 (UTC) Abecedare (talk) 02:12, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No evidence of notability via multiple independent book reviews in reliable sources. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 19:44, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete/userfy. Ultimately there just isn't coverage out there. I can see where there are some blog hits, but those cannot count towards notability. The problem is that bestselling status doesn't give notability. It can make it more likely that the book will gain coverage, but it's never a guarantee. I have no problem with this being userfied until it gains more coverage, though. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:16, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
