Author of the article contested the PROD on the basis that he states there are sufficient resources to prove notability. I say there are not. The only sources provided are two biographies (one from Yale's communications department, the other from the publisher) and the book's listing on Goodreads. A Google search turns up where I can buy the book - Google Books and the Publisher. A news search turns up nothing relevant. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 00:49, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment, there is a review in South Asia Research - "this publication is very welcome for the insights it offers into the current challenges surrounding identity construction in Nepal.",[1], although not enough for a standalone article, a possible merge/redirect to C.

• It doesn't seem likely. As a listed publication, it is most definitely something to be incorporated into that article, with a redirect of the title to the author's page. But beyond that, I'm not sure there is really that much to merge due to the notability issue. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 03:46, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I searched, and found zero secondary, reliable sources. No reviews. Nada. E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:25, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as nothing suggesting the necessary independent notability. SwisterTwister talk 04:07, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
