This is effectively an ORish List of works which feature a fictional city named Santa Terasa. This fails GNG and NLIST as well. It might be the case this could be rescued by restoring it as an entry about the fictional town from Sue Grafton's works, although the analysis in the article is limited to one sentence "Grafton chose the setting as a tribute to Macdonald, an acknowledged influence" and my BEFORE fails to locate anything more significant. Old AfDs from 2008 are not helpful, as back then the consensus was that "it is notable because it is the setting of a notable work of fiction". We have a bit higher standards these days, and pure plot summary, particularly degenerated by trivia about similarly named entities by other authors, likely merits WP:TNT or perhaps a redirect per WP:ATD. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:26, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As described by the nom, this article is not actually an article on a genuine topic, its a WP:OR listing of several completely unrelated books that happened to use the same name for a city. The examples are very clearly not even supposed to be the same fictional city, making this a complete unfocused mess. At best, this could be redirected to Sue Grafton, where the use of the fictional city name as the setting of her novels is already described. Rorshacma (talk) 20:12, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:OR synthesis of the use of these words. Not supported by reliable secondary sources, which is essential to meet WP:V and WP:SIGCOV. Shooterwalker (talk) 20:08, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete seems to be a synthesis of unrelated works that happened to have a similarly named city. --Lenticel ^(talk) 01:32, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
