Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Baseball Guy
Per , in order to establish the notability of a book, it must be shown "the book has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself.  This includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries and reviews.  Some of these works should contain sufficient critical commentary to allow the article to grow past a simple plot summary.  This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book."  My Google, Google News and Google News Archive searches of "Baseball Guy Gordy Jones" found the following: (1) nothing but brief, routine newspaper coverage of book signings and the like, mostly in the St. Paul newspaper; (2) promotional/advertising coverage on venders' websites like Barnes & Noble, Amazon, etc.; (3) coverage on baseball-related blogs.  It is pretty clear that the book is ''not'' the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works appearing in independent sources, as required by the applicable Wikipedia notability guideline for books
