Talk:The Art of Captaincy

Not sure why the deletion is being proposed. What does 'nn book' stand for?

I think it's an abbreviation for "non-notable". So, "non-notable" book. Look at wp:notability for info on Wikipedia's notability policies. - Vianello (talk) 06:04, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I did check, nn does stand for not notable. I disagree with the deletion message. The book is definitely notable and is one of the most important books written on cricket by one of best captains (and man managers) of all time. The page can ofcourse be improved by adding more content but non-notability is definitely not a ground for deletion.

Of course this book is notable - if the editor who put on the proposed deletion tag had just spent a minute or two searching first this would have been obvious. I'll remove the tag and add some references. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:23, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

I am the editor who added the proposed deletion tag, and I disagree. I have been unable to find any third party sources where The Art of Captaincy is the subject (unlike your references, which are at best passing mentions). However, it is notable enough for me to not bother with an AfD. Plrk (talk) 10:29, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Have added a third party reference as well where this book is the subject of a book review. --Shalabh.w (talk) 20:38, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
