Death Troopers

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

Suspected advertising. Subject is unclear but talk page says this is a book to be published in October: delete per WP:BK. After the book is published, if it becomes notable per Notability (books), will be the time for an article. No commercial publisher is identified and this may be vanity published. Article was created by a new user and edited by anonymous user. WP:PROD template removed with no explanation except "it is notable". Cyclopaedic (talk) 14:13, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Also, article duplicates Death Troopers (novel), though that article suffers from the same issues and should probably also be deleted per WP:BK. Cyclopaedic (talk) 15:40, 16 August 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 00:50, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Keep - I have just added a few sources and done some cleanup, article should be more respectable now. As for WP:BK, take a look at any Star Wars forum, this article is notable due to the anticipation for the novel.

 * Keep. High-profile novel from major publisher with substantial advance publicity. WP:BK is mostly about books that haven't got firm publication schedules yet. If you can order it on Amazon, and it has a publication date set by a notable publisher, then the GNG should trump any specialized criteria.  Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 22:18, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
