Disputed prod. Was listed by User:RadioFan with rationale: "tagged with notability concerns for over a month. Lacks 3rd party references" - The unreferenced and notability tags were removed by the article's creator along with the prod notice with an edit with no edit comment and marked m for minor, with only addition to the article being links to reviews on some extremely minor sites and a link to the publisher. We need nontrivial coverage from reliable third parties that demonstrate notability to have a Wikipedia article, not just any old site putting up a half-assed review hoping to make some money on ads/affiliate links to Amazon.

• Keep. I assure you that this was a much-ballyhooed anthology in the horror/fantasy milieu. Independant reviews shouldn't be hard to find...Rhinoracer (talk) 14:03, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Funny then that the person who added the bad links there didn't add good links if they are hypothetically easy to find. I personally don't care one way or the other if it gets deemed notable or not, but you'll have to do more than just assert that it is. DreamGuy (talk) 14:32, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

• Speedy Keep Nomination fails WP:BEFORE. Note that there is no discussion page for this article (but I shall create one now). Discussion at the article is the proper sequel to some content dispute, not AFD. Colonel Warden (talk) 17:06, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. I agree with User:Colonel Warden that discussion at the talk page is very relevant before AfD Nomination, and I should know.
