The Crossing of Ingo[edit]

I can't find any reliable sources that shows the book's notability. Schuym1 (talk) 01:12, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The majority of the article content appears to be copied from the blurb. Look at the synopsis under "Product Description" at this Amazon link. Additionally, offers no claims of notability. ~ AmeIiorate _{U T C} @ 01:38, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Part of a series of books which are also notable, by a prize-winning author, published by a major publisher. The blurb definitely needs work, but that's not cause for deletion. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:39, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Notability is not inherited, so any claims to fame from relation to the other books are moot in this case. The book has not been the subject of non-trivial works (Notability (books) criterion #1), it has not won a major award (criterion #2, the author may have but that notability is not inherited), the book has not been made into a film (#3), nor is it the subject on instruction at schools (#4) and the author is not historically significant (#5. She is notable, but not historically significant). ~ AmeIiorate _{U T C} @ 01:54, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - poor article, but book by notable author, part of tetralogy. PamD (talk) 06:45, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: None of that stuff makes it notable. There isn't any reliable sources independent of the subject, it has not won an award, the author is not historically significant, it has not been adapted, and it has not won an award. Schuym1 (talk) 20:28, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article has received no coverage from any major media organization. I cannot find even one reliable source for the article. This book is not mentioned on Google News and has very few Google hits from which reliable sources can be derived. Perhaps this article could be merged into the author's article, Helen Dunmore.
