Colors Insulting to Nature

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non notable. Anshuk (talk) 07:19, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete To be notable a novel has to not only be written, but published, read, and reviewed. Good luck to the author. Redddogg (talk) 07:33, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I just added a 2004 USA Today review. NJGW (talk) 09:12, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete for lack of multiple non-trivial mentions. Biruitorul Talk 18:08, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - I commend those who found additional reviews; it looks as though this will now be kept, per the prevailing "it meets policy so let's keep, no further questions" doctrine. I respect that. However, I would hope our articles have slightly higher standards - say, some sort of lasting impact - so my vote remains the same. Biruitorul Talk 01:55, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * So you vote delete on mostly every AFD? Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 01:57, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I tend to vote delete - if an article is nominated, there's a fair chance it deserves deletion. Of course I do review everything on a case-by-case basis; here are two recent keep votes of mine: 1, 2. Biruitorul Talk 18:01, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:BK A single book review confirms the book's existence but is insufficient for notability. brianlucas (talk) 19:09, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Now that the article includes multiple reviews from major media sources, it satisfies the first criterion of WP:BK. brianlucas (talk) 01:32, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as there are more than one review. Article need expansion and sourcing, not deletion.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 01:05, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep: per this: http://www.reviewsofbooks.com/colors_insulting_to_nature/. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 01:09, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I did a search on Ebscohost and found several reviews-Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, and Booklist. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 01:11, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * There's also a Curled Up review: http://www.curledup.com/colorsin.htm. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 01:13, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Is that enough for ya? Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 01:14, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I added a reception section! WP:SNOW keep anyone? Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 01:19, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, that was fun. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 01:24, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Nice save.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 01:30, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep reviews from multiple reliable sources provide enough real world critical coverage and information to write a verifiable encyclopaedia article which is more than just a plot summary (In fact as it stands the plot summary in the article might stand to be expanded). Guest9999 (talk) 20:50, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I just added a more detailed synopsis of the plot, along with the image of the book cover and publisher information.D. Kassem (talk) 22:34, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The image is up for deletion. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 22:36, 5 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment Really impressive to see how this article was rescued from deletion. I am inspired folks!! How do I withdraw this deletion nomination? --Anshuk (talk) 23:25, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * You can't withdraw it because there is two delete votes, but you can close it per WP:SNOW. I'll do it right now because the result os this AFD is obvious. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 23:27, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
