Aamoo the Aam

Multiple-article nomination. These articles are all unreferenced, and are all by the same author, about the same series of books. I didn't turn up any third-party coverage while searching for sources. Although they are educational books, they do not seem to satisfy criterion no. 5 of WP:BK. — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 10:02, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The other pages I am nominating are:

In light of Tokyogirl79's comment I would like to nominate two more articles for deletion. They are by the same author as the other articles nominated here, and I can't find any third-party coverage on these books either. All of the books listed here are also by the same publishing company, Chanda Books.

Delete all, including recent additions.. There's nothing to show that these books are notable or that they're used widely enough (or at all) in classrooms that they'd pass any part of WP:BK. I also want to note that these books are self-published, with Chanda Books being run by the author and her family. (The books are put out via CreateSpace on Amazon, usually a sign that the author made her own publishing house which ended up being the case here.) Given that the contributing editor's name is "Hindibooks" and their edits were done solely for books put out by Chanda Books, I'm of the belief that these were all promotional edits by the author and/or her family. BTW, if it's not too late I'd like to ask that you add Sonu ke Afsane to this group nomination, as it's another unsourced and non-notable book put out by Chanda Books and added by the same editor.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 10:40, 12 January 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]
I've added Sonu ke Afsane, plus another similar article, Sonu ke Kisse. Just to be on the safe side, could you confirm whether or not your delete recommendation extends to Sonu ke Kisse as well? Thanks — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 11:16, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. My recommendation absolutely extends to both of these books. Nothing by this publisher seems to be notable.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 11:23, 12 January 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]
Delete all We really should have a special speedy deletion criterion for self-published books; the chances of them passing WP:NBOOK are so small as to be negligible. To no-one's surprise, none of the above meet the criteria there, nor the GNG, which is their only other chance to make the grade. Yunshui 雲‍水 11:55, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all No indication of wp:notability. Zero references except for the self-publisher's web site. North8000 (talk) 21:32, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
