It appears that the ‘gatekeepers’ of Wikipedia are demanding a review, or multiple reviews, of this book by scholarly sources, and/or a source that discusses how the book has been received by experts in the field. This seems like a much higher bar than what is normally required for articles about books, but I guess that’s how it is. No article on Wikipedia is apparently better than an incomplete one, but few people are likely to see, or contribute, to a draft article, so it’s not clear how the article will ever meet the required standard.

:Although the book has been reviewed by multiple reliable sources outside the U.S., I find it surprising that no U.S. media outlets have apparently reviewed it. This seems like an amazing coincidence – not a single publication in the entire United States found this book notable, even though reviews have appeared in major publications in the UK, Ireland and Australia?
