I was thinking of adding a page on Tv Tropes for Dawkin's book "The God Delusion." The book is notable enough to warrant a page and it could be discussed. How would I go about doing so and is there anyone else who wishes to do this?

Thanks. By the way, how would I accurately represent the book? It's quite controversial and I don't want the page to turn into bashing of the book by people who haven't read it or have the page degenerate into a pile of religion-bashing. For one, neither would be looked on kindly by the moderators. The more controversial aspects can go in the YMMV page and some tropes from Dawkin's page can go there, removing the risk of using the wiki to bash a real person; another thing the moderators take a dim view of.

As someone who hasn't read the book, the only advice I can offer is to keep the page as neutral as possible & stick to the facts.

Another important question: does the book contain actual tropes? If not, forget it.

Pretty implausible, such a tropeless work.
