Talk:Belinda (Rice novel)

Untitled
The new image is acceptable - it is the actual book cover, but perhaps less controversial than the 1994 book cover. How exactly does one "cite" a book summary other than the book itself? aelfwyne 19:12, 31 July 2007 (UTC)


 * My reason for replacing the image had nothing to do with the previous image being "controversial"; first-edition covers are preferred for use in articles if they are available (see the WikiProject Novels' Article Template). It's not the book summary that really needs references/citations, but the other parts, like the lead section and the stuff about the controversy caused by the book. -- SilentAria talk 23:39, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Deletion rationale
Contested prod with no explanation. Redirect to author's page reverted by the same editor, also with no explanation. Article has had no references for almost five years. It fails most of the notability criteria for books, the only possible exception being the fifth, "The book's author is so historically significant that any of his or her written works may be considered notable." I don't think that history has had sufficient time to judge Anne Rice's historical significance yet, so including this on that basis alone is premature. FWIW, I'm a fan of Rice but don't think this meets notability. 69.181.249.92 (talk) 08:12, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
