The Frodo Franchise[edit]

Highly promotional in tone, and with no source except the book itself. The article claims the book is "an important work of independent scholarship", but doesn't really say why it's notable. Delete gadfium 07:53, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that the author is notable, now that the spelling has been corrected. I think redirecting the book to the author is a suitable outcome.-gadfium 08:02, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete First several pages of non-wiki ghits are all sales sites or blogs; not coming up with evidence of notability. --Fabrictramp (talk) 15:59, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No evidence of notability. All sites I can find are ads. -Djsasso (talk) 16:36, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to Kristin Thompson. Limited notability. --Dhartung | Talk 01:26, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect if that article is kept, otherwise delete. Fails the general notability guideline as lacking third-party sources, and the article even admits to being based on the author's own research.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 02:53, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment No, it describes the book as being based on the author's own research, which one hopes is true. --Dhartung | Talk 01:17, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per others. Doctorfluffy (talk) 15:33, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
