Contested PROD. This should have been deleted at its previous AfD: there are no established reliable secondary sources covering the book, and the ones which are included fall far short of what we'd consider to be appropriate to consider a book notable.

- Delete per WP:NBOOK. No evidence of notability outside of personal blogs and publications directly linked to the author or his organization. The blog hits suggest importance to South Asian Christians but I'd expect this to be evident in independent sources, and I can find none. Ivanvector (talk) 17:36, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

- Delete. I couldn't really find anything independent of the author that would show notability. I found a mention [http://www.yorkregion.com/news-story/1421486-racism-rampant-in-land-of-tolerance-/ in this article], but the article isn't about the book. There was a [http://books.google.com/books?id=nqsZAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA121&lpg=PA121&dq=%22Coconut+Generation%22&source=bl&ots=nW7Yxzt1zF&sig=uG4NkjS3tcJNH0KrucUdwE9yg9A&hl=en&sa=X&ei=D_5_U-euLYnLsQT3nYLwDQ&ved=0CF4Q6AEwDDgK#v=onepage&q=%22Coconut%20Generation%22&f=false journal review] but I can't verify that George isn't a member of the organization or how the reviewing system there works. Even if we count this review, it still wouldn't be enough to show it passes NBOOK. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 02:09, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
- What about [http://books.google.com/books?id=nqsZAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA121&lpg=PA121&dq=Sam+George+coconut+generation&source=bl&ots=nW7Yyrq8zA&sig=y5WGKkneLVruVTHubPb31Uvo9m0&hl=en&sa=X&ei=LkOAU8mIA-3IsAT81YH4Bg&ved=0CDgQ6AEwAzgK#v=onepage&q=Sam%20George%20coconut%20generation&f=false this] review? And the book is noted in various books and articles. Candleabracadabra (talk) 07:12, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
:*The big problem I found with the review is that I couldn't tell if it would be considered a RS or if the author was or wasn't a part of the organization. Mostly it's that I can't verify if it'd be usable, since it's published through Lulu- making it a SPS of sorts. If you can find enough sourcing I'm willing to change my vote.
