Family Guy: Brian's Guide to Booze, Broads, and the Lost Art of Being a Man

I cannot find any reliable sources that discuss this book. The show is notable, the author is also notable, but notability is not inhereited, the book is not notable. -- Mike 🗩 19:15, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Selective merge and redirect to Family_Guy. All I could find was a brief mention of the book in relation to the show itself - what we need is coverage of this book to establish how it's independently notable outside of the show and character/creator. To be honest, stuff like this is often fairly similar to ephemera. It's not meant to be disposable, but at the same time it was meant to be a gag book with little long term impact or value on the show. The publisher isn't even printing it anymore. I'd go so far as to say that the articles for Family Guy: Stewie's Guide to World Domination and Family Guy: Peter Griffin's Guide to the Holidays could be selectively merged and redirected as well. Family Guy: It Takes a Village Idiot, and I Married One already redirects there. It's honestly pretty rare that a piece of merch is notable enough for its own article. Even the Star Trek and Star Wars novels rarely get enough coverage for standalone novels, nor do the Alien novels, and those are franchises where the novels are a pretty well known and major part of the franchise. The books are far less so for the Family Guy franchise and these just didn't get any attention from places Wikipedia would see as reliable.

 * Redirect echoing ReaderofthePack. No lasting impact, obvious redirect target - so no need for this standalone. -- asilvering (talk) 15:31, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect as per the other two nominations. Pahiy (talk) 17:12, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect - per above - no reviews, no impact, and nothing to merge. Bearian (talk) 19:24, 26 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Redirect Agreed with common consensus. The book doesn’t have a lot of discussion on the own self. Best approach is to redirect to the parent page and add a paragraph on how this book was published. Laptopinmyhands (talk) 23:54, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
