After book series

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Book series with exactly one independent source which is more about the author than the books, and I can't find any other sources. The article claims that the rights have been sold in many countries and that there's a Paramount movie in the making; I do find a couple of sources from a year ago talking about that, but it seems much WP:TOSOON to create an article based on that. There is an article about the author, Anna Todd, and this article could possible be changed into a redirect there, but to be honest I'm not sure there's sufficient notability for that article to stay, either. bonadea contributions talk 18:24, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete I find zero reviews for the books in this series (or for any other books by this author). This is not terribly surprising since they are squarely in the romance genre. I also have serious doubts about the WP article for the author, again because of the lack of reviews in any, much less any reliable, sources. Not even Booklist and Kirkus, and on Amazon there are only fan reviews, not "editorial reviews," which section Amazon fills up with excerpts rather than leave it blank.

 * I'm concerned about that as well. Most of her coverage has just been people reporting on the fact that the books were picked up. I'm thinking that this could probably be merged and redirected into the main article for One Direction, possibly in a section about its fanbase or in a section all its own? I'd say that it's likely worth mentioning somewhere, but I don't see where it's notable enough to warrant its own entry. It's one of those fanfic series that got picked up due to Fifty Shades being so popular, but it looks like the boom died off before this could really get any true coverage. It certainly doesn't need two articles, that's for certain. I'll try to merge this into the author's article and see if that'd be enough to salvage this.

 * Redirect to Anna Todd. Notability for people is slightly easier to pass than NBOOK specifically and Todd just barely squeaks by. Jezebel reviewed the fanfiction (not the book version) so that's sort of a review, although it's not the strongest source out there. Basically while Todd has only ever worked on the After series, I think that in this situation it'd likely be easier to just have all of this present in the author's article since it'd be far easier to justify her passing GNG based on the sources than it would be for us to try to say that the series passed NBOOK. I know that sounds a bit backwards, but this is sort of the current situation with notability guidelines. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  06:00, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
