Conviction: A Sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I'm not convinced that this book satisfies WP:BOOKCRIT. While there have been many notable derivative works about Jane Austen's works, I am not able to determine if this one is significant as well. I have been unable to find any significant reviews or references to this book. -- Lemongirl942 (talk) 05:16, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. Derbyshire Writers' Guild is a well-known & popular Austen fanfiction site. Many authors at DWG have taken their works down because of preferring various self-published/print-on-demand/vanity press outputs but in this fan interview Burris claims Double Edge is a small press which picked up the novel for a second edition after a print-on-demand first edition. There are several fan-site reviews/interviews, however, I find little in the way of in-depth commentary in reliable sources for this novel. There are brief mentions in Chick Lit and Postfeminism & Celebrating Pride and Prejudice: 200 Years of Jane Austen's Masterpiece/Happily Ever After: Celebrating Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Willing to change my vote if anyone comes up with reliable in-depth coverage. Espresso Addict (talk) 11:38, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:NBOOK. Has not received significant coverage in reliable independent sources. --Odie5533 (talk) 13:25, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge, probably into List of literary adaptations of Pride and Prejudice, which is not too long and has room for several-sentence summaries, and which can easily be expanded in scope to cover sequels, too. We should be looking for ATDs, and given this excellent alternative to deletion, this should not be deleted.  It would also be okay to Keep it outright.  However a merge leaving a redirect behind preserves edit history and enables re-creation with more material and sources, if those become available. -- do  ncr  am  02:35, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
 * merge. as suggested. There are many such works, --see and  in Worldcat; a very few of them  are notable . The notable ones are in many hundreds --or thousands (e.g. P. D. James,  Death Comes to Pemberley ) --of libraries. This is in about 60. For an extremely popular sub-genre, that's trivial.  Normally an academic work on Austen facfic will list every one they can find, so being listedthere does not show separate notability  DGG ( talk ) 06:04, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge - as per doncram's suggestion. Not enough independent coverage to show it passes the notability criteria, so merge is the best option.  Onel 5969  TT me 20:45, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
