:Please note, that notability is not inherited. I have added to the article page three problem tags.

Second, the Latvian source is an online bookstore. It is not a reliable source, and would be akin to utilising an amazon.com link, and as such can not be used to establish notability. Third, because there are no independent, third-party sources which discuss the book in any great depth, at least not which are presented on the article at the moment, this brings into question whether the book actually meets notability guidelines for books.

Notability

As a book written by the awarded journalist and writer Jukka Rislakki, this books encyclopaedic setting is to document the works for which this author was awarded. I will remove WP:PROD. In case you disagree please move to WP:AFD. /♥фĩłдωəß♥\ 10:38, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Please note, that notability is not inherited. I have added to the article page three problem tags. First, the Finnish source is the original publisher of the book in the Finnish language; therefore it is a primary source. It can't be used to established notability. Second, the Latvian source is an online bookstore. It is not a reliable source, and would be akin to utilising an amazon.com link, and as such can not be used to establish notability. Third, because there are no independent, third-party sources which discuss the book in any great depth, at least not which are presented on the article at the moment, this brings into question whether the book actually meets notability guidelines for books. Please refer to Misplaced Pages:Notability (books) for further information; what I have raised here is all contained in there. At best, it would appear that this article is probably a candidate to be merged into the Jukka Rislakki (the author) article. --Russavia 00:26, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
I agree that the article still needs to pass the notability criterias for books, so I am working on finding sources to meet these criterias, which will require some days for me to convert into usefull text in English, since I work slow on translating Latvian. When it comes to the link to the online bookstore, it was not intended as a "reliable source", so to speak, merely to verify the book actually exists in a Russian language translation. /♥фĩłдωəß♥\ 18:33, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
Philaweb, academic books have a different notability standard than general books, see Misplaced Pages:Notability_(books)#Academic_and_technical_books. This book was published by the academic publishing house Rodopi Publishers as part of the series "On the Boundary of Two Worlds: Identity, Freedom, and Moral Imagination in the Baltics", and these books are peer reviewed by an editorial board made up of university academics. All you have to do to prove notability of specialised academic books is to find mention of it in the media. --Martin Tammsalu (talk) 21:03, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
