Talk:Nine Shift

Notability Response

I would be happy to answer any questions about problems with our entry. We get interviewed regularly and the book is still in print 12 years after it was first published. Next year we celebrate our 14th anniversary at a conference in Portland, Oregon.

So let me know what other issues anyone has, and I would be happy to respond.

This book was featured in a Ted Talk available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdvYrpMfYaQ

It was also reviewed as follows:

“Fascinating reading. Seductive.”

	 	BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation)

“Not since John Naisbitt’s Megatrends has a book hit the mark so clearly.”

	 	American Institute of Architects

“Nine Shift is mind blowing.”

	 	Philip Badman, CityLit, London, UK

“A most interesting book.”

	 	Peter F. Drucker, internationally famous business guru

“Please God, make Draves’ and Coates’ prognostications come true.”

	 	Prof. David Calhoon, Black Hills State University, Spearfish, South Dakota

“I haven’t been able to stop talking about the book to everyone I encounter,”

	 	Darlene Cullimore, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

“It was difficult to put down. While reading I came to realize the shifts are already happening and could find examples in my daily life.”

	 	Drew Weilage, sophomore at the University of Minnesota Duluth

“It’s so good to have a thought-leader with your content on the air.”

Hi,

I'm not sure this article meets the notability guidelines. The only major discussion I can find in an independent source is from the BBC : Day, Peter. "The View from River Falls", May 24, 2005 According to WP:BK :

A book is generally notable if it verifiably meets through reliable sources, one or more of the following criteria: 1. The book has been the subject[1] of multiple, non-trivial[2] published works whose sources are independent of the book itself.[3] This includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries and reviews. Some of these works should contain sufficient critical commentary to allow the article to grow past a simple plot summary. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book.[4]

As far as I can tell this is not the case here, but don't exclude that there could be many independent reviews somewhere that I am not finding. At the moment it reads far too much as a promotional page, and not an independent discussion of the book or the ideas presented in it. Peregrine981 (talk) 12:18, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
