After looking for sources to support this article for a book, I was able to find one review in Publishers Weekly, which is good. However, I only found one other review, which was from a questionable source. The author did go on the Today Show to discuss the book, but I think that has more to do with the first book, Why Men Love Bitches, than the notability of this book. I feel like notability of this book is on the line. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 00:37, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: the book received fairly wide coverage in the news. I've added a couple of refs to the article, but there are probably better ones available. Owen× ☎ 01:32, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    OwenX: I appreciate the support in improving the article. However, one of the sources provided does not discuss the book at all (only its predecessor) and I could argue that the other source doesn't provide significant coverage of the book.

    The longer version of the Sunday times article referneces the second book as well. 2603:8001:6E00:293C:B890:4827:F6C4:C286 (talk) 01:51, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • KEEPCurrently both books are charting on Apple ibooks bestsellers. See: https://books.apple.com/us/charts/nonfiction/9002. According to Simon and schuster, the book sold 1 million copies and is also a NYT bestseller. 2603:8001:6E00:293C:B890:4827:F6C4:C286 (talk) 01:48, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Sherry Argov Right now we have one review and absolutely nothing about the content of the book itself. Nate • (chatter) 01:56, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    See: https://books.apple.com/us/charts/nonfiction/9002 and please click on the "see all" link on the upper right side to expand the list. I share this not only for the two books being discussed, but the notability of the books that are on the same list (all of them have independent Wikipedia pages). 2603:8001:6E00:293C:B890:4827:F6C4:C286 (talk) 02:32, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    We don't source any book to an e-commerce site; that's pretty much one of the top rules regarding sourcing. You can't be that obtuse, truly. Nate • (chatter) 03:21, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Switching to keep as it took a bit, but a basic and supported summary not based on publisher/bookseller copy has been added, addressing my concern. Nate • (chatter) 22:44, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
