Notability and Self Promotion

I think that this article fails to meet Wikipedia's standards for notability. I can find no significant coverage of this book, aside from book reviews, and its central premise, that Hauptmann acted alone, is not notable or unusual.

The notability tag was removed in 2014, citing "multiple awards", but the article was 1) created by the author of the book discussed or an account with the same name as the author, and 2) it has remained unreferenced for six years.

I feel the article should be deleted. The book is already listed in the appropriate section of the Lindbergh Kidnapping article. Matuko (talk) 10:51, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
