Surrealist Subversions

• Delete, See What Wikipedia is not, also the edits and reverts on the article show disagreement over article being objective and bias. The article states, "as the name suggests", which is not objective wording. The article was also created by Wikipedia user, Daniel C.Boyer, who is a contributor to the book(as indicated in article contributors) and has obvious vested self-interest. This is another violation of Advertising, also the redirect to AUTONOMEDIA, that page shows that the, Autonomedia, is in need of a cleanup as indicated by tag on that article. Also, there exists no credible reference sources regarding literary or critical review outside of the independent press. Author, Ron Sakolsky, is a pirate radio expert, not a surrealist with any literary or critical notability. NON-NOTABLEClassicjupiter2 16:45, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as above. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:41, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep - Autonomedia is a perfectly respectable publisher - David Gerard 11:15, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Not notable, advertising. Amazon.com Sales Rank in Books: #738,692. My personal criterion is that Amazon rank numbers larger than 250,000 are prima facie non-notable. Dpbsmith (talk) 19:13, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
