Decay: a zombie story

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Unremarkable book, does not meet WP:NBOOK. West Eddy (talk) 16:38, 28 April 2012 (UTC)


 * delete Nothing independent to support notability. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:46, 28 April 2012 (UTC)


 * How can I prevent deletion? I am the author of the book. Jpdeadly (talk) 17:58, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Read WP:NBOOK for starters.
 * If it's newly published by a non-star author, I'd be surprised if it was possible to keep it (and rightly so). This is an encyclopedia, not a directory. Stuff (not just books) doesn't get added "because it's good stuff", but because it's "WP:Notable" - broadly that significant, uninvolved 3rd parties have already had cause to pay attention to it. For books, publishers and bookshops don't count, but reviews in a credible literary magazine or column would do. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:03, 28 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, go ahead and delete it then. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jpdeadly (talk • contribs) 18:15, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
