Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Personality Plus
First things first, that article is a mess. The entire thing was written to where it honestly came across as a promotional page for the book. Much of the article was more written in the tone of someone's personal opinion of the book and how it pertains to other systems, which made it read like original research. I removed a good deal of that. If I can find things to back up the viewpoints I'll re-add it, but I want to discourage adding it back as it was because it wasn't encyclopedically or neutrally written. I'm going to try to find sources and I do think that this could be notable, but I want to stress that just because a book is useful or its author might be notable doesn't automatically guarantee that the book is notable. Being heavily used or having a well-known author merely means that it is more likely that sources exist.  is not a valid reason to keep an article. We have to show independent and reliable sources to show that the book is notable. The only downfall with the book is that since it was written back in 1995 there might not be as many sources on the internet as there would be for a self-help book that was written recently. But again, being a notable speaker or author does not extend notability to the book. Most authors aren't so notable that all of their works are considered notable by extension. To get to that level you have to be along the lines of Shakespeare, Sigmund Freud, and the like. Littaeur is popular and I have heard of her, but I can safely say she doesn't fit within those guidelines. I would also like to request that our IP guest refrain from insinuating that this AfD nomination means that the nominator has a grudge against the book or just wants to delete stuff. That won't accomplish anything and the nominator has a valid point. The article was unsourced and currently doesn't pass . Whether I'll be able to find enough stuff to show it does has yet to be seen, but currently there was enough reason to suggest it for AfD
