Deletion of Inside Islam: A Guide for Catholics

Comment: with Robert Spencer and redirect.  (1) The fact that Spencer's scholarship is questionable (if true), is not relevant to deletion.  (2) Wikipedia:Notability (books) is fairly broad, as is the general |notability standard -- assuming that at least two of the reviews Karl Meier notes qualify as significant, reliable sources, the book meets the limited notability criteria.  (3) However, on the gripping hand, there is no point to the stub -- per Wikipedia:Article series, it would be preferable to redirect to Spencer's own page unless there is too much verifiable information to contain on that page, at which point the material can be spun back out

Comment: as clearly notable book by a NY Times Bestseller; is the nominator trying to make a  by this and similar nominations

Comment: WP:RS|Unsourced, |unverified, empty article (verging on #A1|CSD A1), completely fails to assert any notability or encyclopedic value. If there are reliable sources added to the article, if it expands beyond its current form as a library card catalog entry, and if content asserting any notability or encyclopedic value is added to the article, I may reconsider

Comment: This is a bad-faith nomination that does not cite policy in its deletion reasoning. There is no precedent "very very notable" in the Wikipedia:Notability (books) proposed guideline or anywhere else (and by analogy, we should have almost no articles on television episodes or music albums if that were the case). The argument by analogy with Britannica is also outside of policy, as |Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia. The argument against the author's "scholarship" is a content dispute and does not belong at AFD. If the author believes a merge is warranted, use appropriate templates for that proposal
