Satisfies WP:NBOOK per Criteria (1) and (5)

Notable book. Satisfies WP:NBOOK per Criteria (1) and (5).

1. Reviews in Publishers Weekly and Kirkus Reviews.

5. Authored by President of the United States. Sagecandor (talk) 14:00, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

fwiw re: #1, those are two trade publications, often short and not nearly as discriminate as journal/magazine/newspaper reviews czar 01:52, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Overquoting

Nice compilation but there is far too much quoting in this article—try paraphrasing the important aspects in your own words. Quotes should be reserved for only the technical or very specific elements that must be quoted from the source to understand it. Also Publishers Weekly and Kirkus are trade publications—they aren't indicators of notability. Where are the reviews in reliable, secondary sources?  czar 17:34, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your helpful comments. Fixed. Amounts of quotes in article greatly reduced. Respectfully disagree as to Publishers Weekly and Kirkus Reviews. WP:NOTE doesn't say anything about "except for Publishers Weekly and Kirkus Reviews, don't use those, guys..." So yeah, that would be weird. Sagecandor (talk) 03:28, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

• Not necessary for GA, but footnote 33 is missing an ISBN.
• The summary section needs copyediting for repetitive sentence structure and some clumsinesses.
• entrepreneurship success is learned through multiple failures in business in order to learn best how to succeed: redundant.
• Trump writes this is due to a fear of failure, and ascribes business success to the experience of learning from failures: this just repeats the previous paragraph, now with reference to Trump; instead of the repetition, give the opinion and say it's stated by both men.
• writing, that the oncoming disappearance...: no comma is needed in this sort of indirect quotation. I haven't cleaned these up because I hope a copyedit will reduce the number of these.
• Trump explained his motivation for wanting to work with Kiyosaki, saying he was motivated by: wordy; could be cut to " Trump was motivated to work with Kiyosaki by". There's a similarly wordy sentence in the next paragraph.
• The "Composition and publication" section needs a copyedit for wordiness and flow.
• Are there reviews from other major publications that could be used for the reception section?

Sagecandor, are you planning to work on this? If not I'll fail the article in another week. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 14:14, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

@Mike Christie: I have addressed the green comments and copyedited the summary. Source 33 is a Kindle ebook, which do not have ISBNs. Let me know if you have any other concerns. Argento Surfer (talk) 20:44, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
