Non-notable book. I would have considered re-directing it to the article of the mentioned co-author, expect this book isn't even mentioned in the co-author's article. No reliable sources, no claims of notability. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 01:28, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• In the final stage of the Cold War (early 1980s) the word was used as a common noun. It is actually credited to Paul Chilton [1] not O'Connor. Notability of O'Connor's book might be questioned, but there was a larger phenomena which, IMO, deserves an article. I recommend changing the subject of the article from the book to the concept, the link above is a good starting point. East of Borschov 07:14, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Book seems to have received little to no coverage, but the actual term and concept has been discussed in many books. Suggest deletion and recreation of new article on nukespeak itself. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 00:35, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
