A Book of Magic Horses

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Each of the books fails each WP:NBOOK criterion quite clearly, none of the articles contained even asserts notability. The series as a whole just might warrant an article, but not each book. The first book in the series is not bundled in this AFD, as it is just possible that as the first of a series, it's notable - though not in my opinion. Storkk (talk) 12:42, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Most of the stories are retellings of standard fairy-tales. The tables-of-contents with links to the corresponding Wikipedia articles are interesting,  but I think Wikipedia is not the best place for that. DavidLeeLambert (talk) 14:19, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Redirect all to Ruth Manning-Sanders, which includes a bibliography listing all these books, or delete if you don't fancy creating all those redirects. I don't see evidence of notability of the books, and the book articles don't contain any critical comment, information on their writing, or other things that make a worthwhile book article. Although Manning-Sanders' article is itself not great she's in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and almost certainly notable. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:16, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Redirect all to Ruth Manning-Sanders until there is some content (from third party sources, reviews, etc). Chapter listing of the books is not suitable content.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:40, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
