Seems to be a non-notable subject, cant find any references except amazon listings, etc, nothing suggests that it was discussed even narrowly by much of anyone. Insert CleverPhrase Here 19:54, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

- Well, I have to say, good work indeed. I should have thought to look in academic sources for reviews, oh well, live and learn. Add these to the article and I'll happily withdraw the nomination. Insert CleverPhrase Here 23:20, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

- Keep Sorry, but it doesn't work that way, per WP:NEXIST. You've acknowledged that there's enough sourcing to establish notability. You're not in a position to hand out assignments. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 01:48, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
- Sorry for the misunderstanding, but I didn't intend to 'hand out assignments'. I'm withdrawing it either way, but was a bit busy when I commented above. Just a request, no need to be assume the worst. Insert CleverPhrase Here 02:21, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
