Daniel Alman edit

The first "book" mentioned in this list - en ebook - is

Alman, Daniel (2016). 1,202 well sourced examples of Barack Obama's lying, lawbreaking, corruption, cronyism, hypocrisy, waste, etc., Amazon Digital Services LLC, ASIN: B01E4U36NE.

look inside (version with 1,249 examples. Are they really "well sourced" ? In other words : is there a single reknowed writer i.e. who gave a positive recension or review for the ebook ?

these only 16 googler-hits show (imo) that this ebook (pamphlet ?) has had almost no public attention / perception yet.

I remove it ; in case someone wants to add it I ask him/her to sketch his/her reasons. --Neun-x (talk) 19:34, 6 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Neun-x, 71.182.247.6 and anyone interested, the book was added again, and I removed it again. To me it´s clear that unless some source can show a little notability (at least on this level [http://www.wnd.com/2012/04/libel-case-against-obamas-gay-accuser-tossed/]), the book shouldn´t be included just for existing.

Self-published books (including vanity press) and other independently published works should be given extreme vetting. Anyone can submit a manuscript to Lulu.com, which makes it virtually the same as a blog. And there are hundreds of books, from silly and satirical to scholarly and impactful. IMO parody, juvenile non-fiction, and other fluff by non-notable authors/publishers should generally be omitted. --Animalparty! (talk) 04:50, 23 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
