Elvis Presley's favourite books (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

This article appears to be nothing but a vague list of books from one bookstore, with a personal essay. The external links are one to the bookstore in question, another to an Amazon list which is mostly books about Elvis (which he probably didn't read, probably having been dead when they were published) and an interview with an Elvis hanger-on of some sort. jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 18:11, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Suffers WP:POV, WP:OR, and on a side note, favorite is spelled incorrectly (not a reason for deletion, but I had to bring it up -- since he was American, should be using American spelling) --sumnjim ^{talk with me·changes} 18:36, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete sheesh. JJL 18:41, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and if possible forget you ever read it. Uncited, trivial, POV, and cringe-worthy. Not all reasons for deletion, but there's they don't help persuade otherwise..
• Delete as I'm sure Elvis would be turning in his grave at the mere thought of such tripe. Dalejenkins 19:18, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - per nom.--Bryson 20:17, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Based on what I know of Elvis, I'd be extremely surprised if these were really his favourite books. However, that's not why I'm voting to delete. This sort of indiscriminant list is covered by WP:NOT. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:15, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. This one can close early, I think. --Akhilleus (talk) 21:38, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy delete as it's getting kinda cold in here. This is 100% original research in the form of a bad essay. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 22:19, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy delete as total bollocks. Bigdaddy1981 03:07, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per everyone else. Sheesh. --Charlene 06:59, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per all. 'Nuff said.--JayJasper 12:59, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I'm going to make an article entitled "Trusilver's favo(u)rite books". Is that cool with everyone? But seriously... as much as I hate actually justifying why this needs to be deleted, It is completely uncited, and an A+ candidate for WP:OR.Trusilver 06:09, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
