Promotional stub about non-notable book; all external links are to online bookshops. Very probably the article is created by the author of the book. -- Sander Säde 13:25, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Doesn't seem like a notable work. PasswordUsername (talk) 05:54, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep - the author is notable, which makes the article a keep per Wikipedia's notability guidelines. PasswordUsername (talk) 11:25, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
  • In that case, I think you might want to consult this older [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/T%C3%B5nu_Trubetsky thread] on this 'notable author' misusing wiki for promoting his creations, or a more recent [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/W%C5%82adzimir_Wa%C5%82oc_Trubetsky one]. --Miacek (t) 12:04, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
  • You know, if you check that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/T%C3%B5nu_Trubetsky thread] link, the vast majority of the people voted keep or strong keep, many saying that Trubetsky was very notable, and they seemed to have a pretty good hang of the situation. I'm not Estonian, so I wouldn't know. But those people haven't been blocked as socks of Bloomfield, so it looks like this author is indeed notable (I don't really know if we can say the same of the other Trubetskys). So I'm leaning towards keep on category criterion 6. of Wikipedia:Notability (books), this makes this article notable. PasswordUsername (talk) 04:12, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Maybe I am blind (slept 5 hours in last 48), but I don't see criterion 6. He is not sufficiently notable for criterion 5 (which I would assume you refer) - e.g. he is not a subject of classroom study. Renata (talk) 10:51, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
  • I meant criterion 5, sorry. He could be sufficiently notable per 5 (espcially as Estonia only has 39 years of history as an independent nation), but I'm not certain. Still, I don't see why deleting this book's very bare article is so imperative. It easily satisfies the NPOV criterion, so more couldn't damage our project, and I don't think deletionism is helpful in cases like this. PasswordUsername (talk) 22:27, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete it is a creation of the banned User:Bloomfield aka Tõnu Trubetsky, i.e. the article is purely promotional. Also note that the PROD tag added by Digwuren was [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Anarchists_(T%C3%B5nu_Trubetsky_book)&diff=297936080&oldid=297370091 removed by an anon], mostly likely one of the many Bloomfield's socks ;-). --Miacek (t) 11:06, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
