Dead People (novel)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

An article created by an WP:SPA on book that does not appear to pass the WP:GNG or WP:NBOOK. There are currently no reliable sources included in the article. I searched for any kind of coverage or reviews using both the English "Dead People" and Spanish "Gente Muerta" titles, and turned up very little outside of press releases or blog entries. The Spanish language Wikipedia has an article on the book, but it is largely identical to this one and also lacks any reliable, secondary sources. I was also unable to find any real information on the listed publisher of the book as well. One Spanish-language blurb I found seemed to state that the author self-publishes his work, but this was through using Google Translate on my end, so take that info with a grain of salt. I am bringing this to AFD rather than using a WP:PROD in the hopes that someone who understands Spanish may have more insight. Rorshacma (talk) 17:42, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment: I'm not finding much, which honestly is kind of par for the course for horror novels. I do see where they were nominated for an award, but didn't win. I also found an article in Spanish, but I'm not able to pull the whole thing up. The author looks like he may be notable, but that would take some digging for sourcing as well.

 * Delete. I did not find any significant coverage of this book (other than the one spanish article) that would lead me to believe it meets WP:NBOOK or any other notability guideline. Jacona (talk) 13:07, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
