 * Delete as nom. In what way does this differ from an advertisement? ~ Ningauble 17:21, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Pure fluff, useless to a serious compilation of quotations. BD2412 T 17:32, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom. ~ UDScott 20:14, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Seems to be a notable work, and there might well be some good quotes in it, but there are none in the article.--Collingwood 22:37, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment In fact, the work is available online. I have skimmed a few articles and cannot find any particularly good quotes.--Collingwood 23:16, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete The work itself appears to be notable, but the page in its current state should be deleted per nom. Pmlineditor (t · c · l) 16:28, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, without prejudice if improved with secondary independent reliable sources. -- Cirt (talk) 01:47, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
