 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep: Per, , (Dead link, but "You would think an author who writes a series of books subtitled “A Chicagoland Vampires Novel” would be a native Chicagoan, or at least a transplant" which appears in the description on this link show that it was significant coverage), and .

 * Weak Keep: First, Library Journal is a strong source. Second, it's an open-ended series with a contract for more to come, so it will continue to have source added. (I know, don't throw crystal ball at me. I'm just saying it's sources are good enough now and in the future.) Also, I am an inclusion. If there are people looking at the page, beyond the author, then it's worthwhile to somebody and should be kept. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sabiona (talk • contribs) 16:47, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Is Library Journal really considered a strong source when considering notability? It's literary review publishes reviews of several hundred books each month.  Would each of those books be considered notable?   --SquidSK (1MC•log) 18:51, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I would think so. Publishing several hundred reviews per month covers only a small fraction of the overall market, and reviews there have substantial influence on what ends up in US public libraries. And therefore Keep. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 19:56, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
