Items needed

I think this article is a candidate for AfD, unless you can establish notability before the whole Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal broke.

This would include articles published around the time the book was published (use Lexis-Nexis or Newsbank to find citations), citations in media prior to November 2011 when Sandusky was charged, or other reviews that provide critical commentary per WP:NB and not just a rehash of the double entendre or other aspects, which are all Sandusky-scandal related.

There's definitely a point about questionable notability here, but I don't see why the book couldn't become notable for the first time in November 2011. Jweiss11 (talk) 05:14, 23 November 2011 (UTC)s[reply]

The article now has references to and quotes from reviews published shortly after its publication. This should be persuasive evidence of notability. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 05:35, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
