Non-notable pulp fiction. No references given (and hard to find any) to support its meeting of WP:NBOOK. Mikeblas (talk) 16:34, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
- Delete - No reliable, independent sources are available that establish even minimal notability. Fails WP:NBOOK. - MrX 17:16, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

- Weak delete Lots of coverage on SF/Trek websites[http://sfreader.com/read_review.asp?t=Star+Trek%3A+Enterprise%3A+Kobayashi+Maru-by+Michael+A.+Martin&book=1239][http://www.fantasybookreview.co.uk/Michael-A-Martin-and-Andy-Mangels/Kobayashi-Maru.html][http://sfcrowsnest.org.uk/star-trek-enterprise-kobayashi-maru-by-michael-a-martin-andy-mangels-book-review/][http://unreality-sf.net/2009/01/05/archive-kobayashi-maru/][http://www.trekzone.de/content/literatur/verzeichnis/ent/1416554807.htm] but I don't know if any are reliable sources. Aside from that, one sentence in Publishers Weekly[http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/print/20080630/8412-mass-market-titles-fall-2008.html] and discussed in an LA Times interview[http://herocomplex.latimes.com/books/star-trek-destiny-author-david-macks-borg-epic-comes-full-cube/]. That doesn't seem to meet WP:NBOOK although the book could be mentioned in a more general article on Star Trek books. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:48, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
