I could find no secondary sources, ie reviews or commentary, about this book. Merge to Jimmy Merchant (as it is a memoir)? PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:34, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

• Delete: I agree with the nom; there doesn't seem to be any critical notice of this book. No reviews, no mentions in RS (or any media), other than what's given in the article. Sourcing used are sales listings and one media item that talks about it; neither of which helps notability. Oaktree b (talk) 01:37, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

  Fair enough. Inajd Inajd0101 (talk) 02:24, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Comment I don't know what to say, but if it isn't notable enough. I guess it is MOST LIKELY to be deleted. However, I added some secondary source for the article but I don't know if that's enough. Inajd Inajd0101 (talk) 02:14, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

• Delete Redirect per Cunard: Fails NBOOK, found nothing on ProQuest/Google. At first glance, the tremg.info source added by Inajd0101 doesn't seem reliable. Other sources on article are not independent or are customer review sites. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 02:52, 26 June 2024 (UTC) Changed to redirect ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 18:52, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
• Redirect to Jimmy Merchant, the author, per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion. I did not find significant coverage about the book in my searches for sources.

  A redirect with the history preserved under the redirect will allow editors to selectively merge any content that can be reliably sourced to the target article. A redirect with the history preserved under the redirect will allow the redirect to be undone if significant coverage in reliable sources is found in the future.

• Comment: Oaktree b (talk · contribs), Inajd0101 (talk · contribs), and ARandomName123 (talk · contribs), would you support a redirect to Jimmy Merchant per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion? PARAKANYAA suggested a merge in the AfD nomination. Cunard (talk) 08:35, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

  @Cunard: Yes, a redirect would be fine. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 18:52, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Redirect to Jimmy Merchant: I believe that his memoir should be redirected since there are no secondary source that leads to notability when it comes to its own article, which is fair enough unfortunately. Inajd Inajd0101 (talk) 12:13, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
