The result was Speedy delete all (no claim of notability), on the grounds that an article about your (unpublished) book is essentially an article about you, and since we don't have an article about the author (Zayne Beauclerk). - Mike Rosoft 13:27, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete because Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information (per point 7). Article makes almost no sense, has no author, and does not say why it should be included. Was prodded and removed without explanation.Philip Gronowski Contribs 20:48, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Delete because it fails to assert the notability of the subject, and may even be patent nonsense. Tarinth 20:56, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete plot summary is all well and good, but what is it? a book, film, tv program, cartoon? no useful information in article--Bilbo B 21:00, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete until User:Pine marten (who made most of the edits) puts more info in: author, publisher etc. Google search fails because "older than we are" occurs commonly as a sentence part in many contexts. Anthony Appleyard 21:15, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete per Tarinth. No notability asserted, and possible (likely?) nonsense. -- Kicking222 22:10, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, WP:NOT a place to dump plot summaries without context. --Kinu t/c 22:41, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I haven't been able to find the title at AbeBooks, alibris or Amazon nor via Google search - which is indicative that this might be a plot summary for the article author's attempt at writing a novel. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 23:22, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Delete patent nonsense. Danny Lilithborne 01:29, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete per every reason above. No need to wait! - CobaltBlueTony 04:22, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment:Also see Aliah'. J Milburn 06:34, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • The Novel Older Than We Are is not yet published. I'm sorry, but you can't find this book anywhere... lovely. I've added a PROD tag to that one for legitimacy, but that should go once this AfD closes. Same goes for Caurina, Taya., Taya', Rotano, and Guaxinim, unless WP:CSD rightfully gets to those first. --Kinu t/c 07:03, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
