Master of the Five Magics[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable series of fantasy fiction books. Long unreferenced; no viable references found in searching. I am also nominating the following related pages as they're similarly non-notable stub articles about the other two books in the series.:

Comment. I'm neutral as to deletion (although this is certainly very in-universe-detail heavy and should be pared down, regardless). Reviews of 1980 genre fiction novels are not immensely likely to be online. It's possible, though not guaranteed, that there's something to be had in early issues of Fantasy Review (which would still have been Fantasy Newsletter at the time), or similar publications. More recently, there's some mention of the book as having an internally consistent magic system, in an article by Jeff Somers on Huffington Post.

~~weak~~ keep on the main article, redirect or merge on the stubs. I was able to find some sources via Google, and am agreement that print sources might be useful in firming up notability. Artw (talk) 19:31, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Found a few more refs, changed vote to keep. Considering taking a chainsaw to the middle section of the article. Artw (talk) 03:52, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
