Removal

Firstly, I find it unlikely that anyone is going to want to finish this article. But more significantly, and with respect to Dr. Barber, what there is in the article makes the book sound like trash nonfiction. If this representation is true, then we don't really want to host a partially written article when we don't have better things to point people to. If such a representation is false, then we clearly don't want to slander the author with such an article. I recommend removal. Now the question, is whether I've used the template properly. -Joe Quick 15:57, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
