Promotion issue

Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This book is name-checked in the body of text on the following pages:

This is a clear case of promotion. The promoter (author?) is spamming every relevant page with his book. It includes many cases where the phrase "In the book How To Rap..." is used when a numbered reference citation would be preferable. I think this person is more concerned with promoting his book than adding valuable information to these pages.

I am a lurker not a user so I don't know much about wikis, but someone should do something bout this. BattleRapper (talk) 23:34, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Delete this page. It is shameless self promotion. The person who created this page is the author. This book is not notable. Look at the author's other contributions, most of them are inserting the name of his book in other rapper's wiki pages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.9.165.13 (talk) 18:44, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Second that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.20.187.9 (talk) 05:19, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

this person has also been promoting his book all over youtube, this page should go —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.30.171.83 (talk) 18:09, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Since you three are the geatest experts. The book actually gets acclaim. A little self promotion never hurt nobody. Hell, the book exists and that is a good enough reason to have a wiki article plus the notability lies in the rappers interviewed. I've seen someone! promoting the book all over youtube but he gets plenty of thumbs up for me to believe the book is actually kinda good. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr Demagor (talk • contribs) 07:17, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

All the thumbs up on youtube are from the author! Please delete this page. Aphase (talk) 02:36, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Book is completely non-notable, this page needs to be deleted ASAP. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.233.126.6 (talk) 23:50, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

There are plenty of books on wikipedia that are not notable, however this page does not give a point of view on the book, so no issue there. I think it should be kept.MilkStraw532 (talk) 23:58, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
