 * Delete - While there may actually be reliable secondary sources to use as references for the changes made in adapting the books to film, this information is more properly included in the articles on the individual films and, less so, the individual books. They should not be compiled into this type of trivia. And having skimmed through some of the book and film articles, they do cover this ground. And as it seems is consistent with film and television focused list article crafted by TMC1982, the sections of this list are copied, most times verbatim, from sections of those individual articles. This frankensteined back fill list isn't helpful, it isn't with the intent of a list article, and it sure isn't a "good start" for an article. - J Greb (talk) 05:54, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. This is actually a well-written article, but it's also one of the worse content forks I have ever seen. As J Greb hinted at, it's basically trivia disguised as an encyclopedic article. Erpert (let's talk about it) 06:21, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge The article should be broken up and each part made a section in its movie's article, if that's not the case already. Wolfview (talk) 11:47, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Just to let everybody know, that I initially put article itself within the "James Bond novels" page. I only changed my mind, because I feared that the article would know come across as too lengthy, hard to follow and overpacked! TMC1982 (talk) 01:11 a.m., 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * That was noticeable with tracking related edits. But it doesn't change much since the section that was created within James Bond novels, and then split off, was constructed almost entirely by copying verbatim sections from the articles on the various Bond novels. The odd ones out were copied from the film articles. The only difference is that as a section, the "list" would have been removed by copy editing rather than going through an AfD. - J Greb (talk) 11:00, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge I agree with Wolfview and the first commenter. I think this information would be better included in the articles on the films/ books themselves. Freakshownerd (talk) 00:01, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
