Help me!

Please help me with... Could someone please review this new Wikipedia draft book page - Draft:Data Science and Predictive Analytics - and let me know if it meets the Wikipedia:Notability_(books) criteria for publishing?

Note: User:Sulfurboy previously commented that This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject.

I've reviewed the Wikipedia instructions on Wikipedia:Common_sourcing_mistakes_(notability), Wikipedia:Notability_(books), and Help:Referencing_for_beginners, but I may be missing the main objection and wanted community input.

  • Wikipedia:Notability_(books) Criterion 1: The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books. Supporting evidence:
    • Independent scholarly reviews by journal editorial staff (independent of the book publisher or author).
      • International Statistical Institute (ISI) Review [1].
      • Journal of the American Library Association review [2].
      • Many dozens of citations in scholarly literature that cites this textbook [3] [4].
    • Note that the above are not really "just passing mentions". Rather these represents dozens of independent published works that provide deep scholarly reviews the textbook and directly cited the work.
  • Wikipedia:Notability_(books) Criterion 4: The book is, or has been, the subject of instruction at two or more schools, colleges, universities or post-graduate programs in any particular country. Supporting evidence:
    • There are at least 2 universities (UM and UCLA) that offer classes using this textbook [5].
    • The book is used in at least a dozen libraries [6].

Many thanks your help.

I'm going to close this off, since Sulfurboy has responded to your question already on their talk page.
Please read footnote 7 attached to criterion 4. There is a distinction between a book being the object of study in a course and being adopted as a textbook for a course.
There may still be a case made for the book's notability. Don't give up easily! — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 07:28, 19 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
