The result was keep. From what I see, consensus indicates that the article is notable because of significant coverage from reliable sources. My own investigation corroborates this. (non-admin closure) ceradon (talk • contribs) 04:16, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Dennis Rodman clearly is notable. His children's book isn't. The article is not an appropriate summary of the given references, which agree that there is very little information on the book, and instead of calling it "most anticipated children's book of 2012" rather mercilessly mock Rodman for writing it. So in summary: Not a notable topic, spammy article that's factually wrong. Huon (talk) 20:09, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
- Delete -- Though this one is making my inclusionist tendencies cringe, but there is no way I would ever consider working on this article (or have students do so). Not ever. HullIntegrity\ talk / 22:31, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

- Keep meets WP:GNG - 'has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject' (don't have to be positive of the subject) and WP:BK - '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' Here are some refs: [1] ;[2] ; [3] ; [4] ; [5]
