My Life with a Soul

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I came across this and noticed that the article was completely filled with various non-usable sources such as facebook, merchant sites, and review sites that anyone can contribute to. I've removed the sources that were blatantly non-usable and you can see the original version here. I did a search and was ultimately unable to find any coverage to show that this book passes WP:NBOOK. This is pretty much your typical non-notable novel.

Give me a week, please. I will give you reliable sources according to Wikipedia article WP:NBOOK. I request you not to delete the article and give me some time. And, I also want some suggestion for the sources.Tokyogirl79, just tell me one thing please. Is anyone can contribute to sites like flipkart.com, homeshop18.com, my publisher's website:www.pigeonbooks.in and www.isfdb.org.

Hmm... a good place to start would be the newspapers of India. You can try contacting some of the editors for the paper with information about your book and asking whether or not they'd be interested in reviewing it. You can also try contacting some of the people in the papers in any country, really. I can't guarantee that they'd cover you but it's a good place to start and since your book is considered indie, it would be you that would have to approach them rather than wait for them to approach you. News shows are a good place to start- see if your local news station would be willing to do a spot on you. As far as keeping the article, we can't entirely keep it based on that, but we can transfer a copy to your userspace and you can work on it there. I also recommend getting some help from WP:INDIA, as they're used to knowing which sources in India are the best to use. Just be careful about some review sites, as most of them cannot be used as a reliable source. Merchant sites are also unusable as reliable sources. One last bit of information: if you do manage to get coverage from a paper, make sure that it isn't a press release or anything that you typed up yourself. That would be considered a primary source even though another paper printed it.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 13:58, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
