Non-notable book. Only citations on Article are to an Amazon page, the author's personal blog, and Ursa Major Awards, which is non-notable. Couldn't find any reliable secondary sources. ❤︎PrincessPandaWiki (talk | contribs) 21:56, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: So far I'm leaning towards redirecting this to the author's page. It's mentioned offhand in academic press books like this one, where they discuss the author, but so far I'm not finding much. I did find a review at Flayrah, which seems to be well thought of in the furry world and looks like it could be a reliable source per its use as a RS in academic press books like this one. However that's just one review and wouldn't be enough to keep on that basis alone. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 01:52, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Flayrah most likely isn't a reliable source due to its acceptation of WP:UGC, albeit with a set of guidelines. It qualifies as WP:FANSITE at best. ❤︎PrincessPandaWiki (talk | contribs) 21:32, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Kyell Gold or to Forester Universe, where it's listed. All I was able to find was the Flayrah review and a ALA post stating that it was nominated for - but was not selected - the ALA's 2012 Over the Rainbow list, which serves as a list of the "best of the best" works that feature LGBT+ representation for the given year. Because of this and because it's is his first non-adult novel, so it would definitely merit a couple of lines in the author's article. In the universe specific section it would be best to focus on the trilogy as a whole, but mention that it was his first non-adult book and was nominated for an ALA honor. The question here is which page it should redirect to. Normally I'd just say the universe page but that needs some work on sourcing and whatnot.

Comment, isfdb shows no awards/reviews, not good. Coolabahapple (talk) 06:11, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The book is, for sure, not independently notable, with a complete lack of reliable sources discussing it. And, I'm not liking the looks of either of the two Redirect proposals. Forester Universe is certainly non-notable itself with the same lack of reliable sources, and its looking like Kyell Gold may not pass the WP:GNG bar as well. Out of those two, though, the author's page is certainly the better choice. I'd advocate for outright deletion, personally though. Rorshacma (talk) 22:06, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Forester Universe article could see a nomination for deletion, I agree. The Kyell Gold article meets WP:BARE in my view and could be salvageable, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone nominated for deletion. ❤︎PrincessPandaWiki (talk | contribs) 01:13, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect would be the logical solution. scope_creep^Talk 22:44, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
