Non-notable book by a person who himself is barely notable (and is up at AfD right now). The book is self-published, and seems to have made no waves at all. The article is all plot summary and original research. Drmies (talk) 01:02, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete/redirect to Stephen Christian. I have no opinion at this point in time as to whether or not the artist himself is notable, but it's fairly clear that this book fails notability guidelines overall. The only halfway decent source I've seen has been a review on Absolutepunk, which appears to have been written by a random user and had no editorial oversight overall. Even if we were to consider that usable, that's only one source and we can't keep an article on just one source- at least not that type of source. If Christian's article survives AfD, a redirect would be reasonable. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:32, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge a much shortened summary into the "Publishing history" section of Stephen Christian. Perhaps rename the section after the title of this book, since it doesn't list anything else. Also we could move the book cover illustration over, since we have it. After that, I would support converting this article into a redirect. – Margin1522 (talk) 03:43, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Stephen Christian. In the absence of any coverage we can't keep this, but it would be a valid redirect. --Michig (talk) 09:04, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
