Magic and Other Misdemeanors

Pure plot summary, fails WP:NOTE and WP:NOT#PLOT. Scheinwerfermann (talk) 06:34, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, merely a plot summary without any context or references. JIP | Talk 09:49, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Which sounds like a reason to improve, not delete... Hobit (talk) 19:28, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no context. Maybe grounds for speedy deletion? Bart133 ^{t c @} 16:23, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
weak Keep Article fails NOT#PLOT, but subject is probably notable. [1] is a brief review behind a wall, [2] lists 4 Sacramento Bee articles that at least mention the book (none currently on their site). [3] is a trivial mention, but adds a bit. Hobit (talk) 19:27, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:N and WP:NOT#PLOT. Links Hobit notes above don't appear to meet the notability criteria for books. Karanacs (talk) 19:41, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- They do seem to meet WP:N however. We can't see the Sac. Bee articles, but they do appear to be in-depth coverage of the topic which would indicate notability. thoughts? Hobit (talk) 19:52, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for two weeks WP:NOT#PLOT is not a deletion criteria; the article may be improvable. If sources cannot be found to fix the article, Delete as non-notable. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 22:48, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, this has been up a couple weeks, and the evidence of notability is very slim. Delete as non-notable, however, do note that WP:NOT#PLOT is still not a reason to delete: An ongoing review is reasonably firm on that. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 01:00, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

~~Merge anything mergeable and redirect~~ ~~to The Sisters Grimm, as it is book five of this apparently award winning series by award putatively winning author Michael Buckley.~~ Dloh cierekim 16:26, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, not convinced of notability of series or author, so delete. Dloh cierekim 18:00, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
