Blood's Voice

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Highly advertorialized article about a YA-fantasy novel, not referenced to any reliable source coverage. The book's existence is sourced to its sales page on Amazon.com; the character content is sourced entirely to the author's own self-published content on her own website, and the critical reception is referenced entirely to amateur bloggers, not to professional reviews in reliable publications like Publishers Weekly or Kirkus or The New York Times. There's also a possible conflict of interest here, as the article was created by a WP:SPA editor who used the name of the novel's protagonist as their Wikipedia username -- although it's impossible to tell whether that points to a fan or to the author herself, it does still demonstrate that their intention was to advertise the book rather than to build an encyclopedia.
