Non-notable book. Essentially an advert. scope_creep^Talk 16:45, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Two lines in the Deccan Herald is hardly in-depth significant coverage, the Week.in magazine coverage actually states that the author is "great at selling his story" and the print.in is not an independent source. Theroadislong (talk) 16:52, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete — I do not see any criterion from NBOOK being met. Celestina007 (talk) 17:00, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: per nom, clearly an advert and I am honestly a little bit concerned about the COI Editing CommanderWaterford (talk) 17:12, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete — Fails WP:NBOOK. Google search picked up this which barely talks anything about the book and obviously does not qualify as substantial coverage. --Ashleyyoursmile! 14:33, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge/redirect to Munaf Kapadia, the author of the book, per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion. The content of this article written by Dial911 (talk · contribs) can be used to expand the author's article. The book was published on 10 April 2021 and received coverage just today on 2 May 2021 as I make this comment:
  • Mathai, Anjuly (2021-05-02). "Munaf Kapadia: From selling ads at Google to selling samosas at The Bohri Kitchen". The Week. Archived from the original on 2021-05-02. Retrieved 2021-05-02.

    The article notes, "What is compelling about the book is how brutally honest Kapadia has been. ... Unlike most “passion-to-paycheque” startup stories, Kapadia’s does not exactly end on a high note. With the pandemic, his business took a hit. Many outlets had to be shut down and he had to let go of some of the staff."

  If How I Quit Google to Sell Samosas continues to receive significant coverage and reviews, I would support undoing the redirect and restoring the article since the book would meet Wikipedia:Notability (books), which says:

  A book is presumed notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, at least one of the following criteria:

  1. The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself.

• Comment It states in the article: That is because Kapadia, 31, a former account strategist at Google, not only has an engaging story to tell, but he is also great at selling his story.. That is not a good source. It is not reliable. scope_creep^Talk 14:24, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge/redirect to Munaf Kapadia As per Cunard and as the creator of this stub, I support this action rather than getting it deleted. Dial911 (talk) 17:42, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
