Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Blood Confession
Actually, reviews are a measure of notability when they're done by sources that Wikipedia considers to be reliable. The first part of  states ''"The book has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the book itself. This includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries and '''reviews'''."'' Whether or not there's enough sources here to warrant keeping the article is another question, though. I had a bit of trouble deciding after I'd added all of the sources, which is why I haven't voted one way or another. But yes, reviews are a sign of notability as long as they're by reliable sources. There's a huge difference between reviews done by someone on Goodreads and someone who reviews for say, Strange Horizons or the School Library Journal. Saying that reviews can never show notability because everyone writes reviews is like saying that newspaper articles can never show notability because everyone somewhere has written an article in some format
