Daggerspell
Daggerspell is a book whose sales rank on Amazon is 200000. Pilatus 17:12, 17 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. See Katharine Kerr and Deverry - the author is quite successful, and this was her first novel: if it hadn't been notable, she wouldn't still be writing today. Which of our guidelines mentions Amazon sales rank as a criterion for inclusion? I'm not actually sure if this should be kept or not, but if it's deleted, then the redlinks to Kerr's other novels in her article should be removed. &mdash; Haeleth Talk 22:56, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Is she so successful? I never heard about her (which doesn't mean much). On Amazon all her books have a sales rank less than 200000. For comparison: the Thomas Covenant chronicles range around 30000, and those are more groundbreaking. Pilatus 23:18, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don't see what a book's Amazon.com sales rank have to do with anything.  The Deverry books have been well recieved by critics, as well as by readers.  Consider also that Daggerspell is still in print after almost two decades. Chris F. 01:53, 18 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep &mdash; As fantasy authors go I think she is relatively successful. I've read several of her works and she's a solid, respected author in the field. But personally I don't think it would hurt to relocate this to "Deverry novels", and capture her entire series. &mdash; RJH 16:47, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
