Doesn't pass
WP:NBOOK. After controversial statements from the author, the publisher decided not to publish it; the author chose to self-publish in August 2023. Aside from the one review from a small newspaper, I haven't found any coverage aside from the controversy, which is discussed on the author's page. I've checked for reviews on Kirkus, Booklist, Publishers Weekly, and NY Times, as well as a general Google search.

Delete as not an article-worthy topic in its own right, i.e., not apart from the downturn in the author's career.
The relevant subsection of the bio page already says pretty much everything that needs to be said about the book, and it takes less than two sentences to do so.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, LizRead!Talk! 00:31, 4 January 2024 (UTC)reply
Merge with
Scott Adams: Book isn't notable, is a piece of the Adams life story though

Or just !delete, for all that's listed here, it's hardly worth even keeping around.

Redirect to
Scott Adams: there's nothing to merge. Other than the opening line, which is already covered by the target, the entire article is a content fork of
Scott Adams#Race, and has nothing to do with the book.

Delete per nominator. The entire substance of the article is a separate news story which, as XOR'easter described above, is already detailed at the author's article. The book itself has no notability and fails
WP:NBOOK. The central story here is the author's loss of a publishing contract, not the book itself. Delete.

Redirect to
Scott Adams per
User:OwenX above, reasonable search term but not independent notability given the lack of reviews or similar coverage.
