This is WP:TOOSOON to have its own article. Doesn't pass WP:GNG or WP:BKCRIT. The only reliable source talking about this newly published book is this article in The Straits Times which was written by Simon Chesterman himself. A small mention is already there in the author's article, and that should suffice for the moment. Lemongirl942 (talk) 04:49, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Simon Chesterman. I agree that it's too soon. There doesn't seem to be independent coverage in English-language Singaporean sources, which is where you'd expect to find coverage of an English-language novel. If anyone's curious, you can find a list at List of newspapers in Singapore. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:17, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Simon_Chesterman#Bibliography or to the fiction section in his article - either one is fine, as long as it's with history intact. There's actually very little out there about the book in general and while the author's website says that it can be purchased directly from the publisher, the various sale websites give it a release date of October 2016. From what I gather, the May 2016 publication date was only for Singapore. It's possible that there's coverage in other languages, but until that's shown I have to assume that this is just too soon for an entry. I have no problem with this being restored from a redirect once more coverage becomes available. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:17, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
