Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Violin Diary
Fails |notability criteria for books. Not only is it not listed at Amazon, I have trouble finding any such book on http://books.google.com/books?q=%22The%20violin%20diary%22&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=N&tab=gp Google Books, or any reference on http://news.google.com/archivesearch?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&tab=pn&q=%22The+violin+diary%22 Google News. Google Web search yields a paltry http://www.google.com/search?q=%22The+violin+diary%22&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a 4 results, one of which is a Wikiquote deletion discussion, reading of which yielded the interesting tidbit that the book is self-published. References in the article itself either come from the book's promoters, or a blogspot posting. I conclude that a self-published book without any published reviews, is not suitable for Wikipedia
