Faster than the Speed of Love (Family Guy)

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

This is an article about a book within a TV series (Family Guy) and is not very notable. The book has been mentioned in a few episodes of the series, but is not notable on its own. If anything, some of the content should be redirected to Brian Griffin, who is the author of the book from the show. – Dream out loud (talk) 15:49, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep That book is an integral plot device in several episodes.  65.121.141.34 (talk) 16:34, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge with Brian Griffin.--Iner22 (talk) 17:05, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete- Unless someone can come up with some reliable sources, preferably ones that are independant of Family guy, the article suffers from a lack of out of universe notability. Merging would be pointless, since there's no referenced information to actually merge. Umbralcorax (talk) 17:29, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete or weak merge to Brian Griffin, where the fictional book is already mentioned. The whole article is structured and written as if it existed in the real world - a sign that it completely fails WP:INUNIVERSE and doesn't contain much or anything worth saving for another article. – sgeureka t•c 17:32, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as WP:SS spinout covering a fictional element of an unquestionably notable franchise without a clear merge target. Jclemens (talk) 18:37, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Brian Griffin and trim (there are several repeated points). Much of the humor inspired by the book keys on the relationship between Stewie and Brian— this is better established in the Brian Griffin article. ---—  Gadget850 (Ed)  talk 18:48, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete or MAYBE merge to Brian Griffin (and that might is because I don't see anyone entering the current title). A recurring joke that was used in a few episodes, the fictional book is not even close to being considered notable enough for its own article.  TJ   Spyke   21:44, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - Can IPs participate in this? If so, I support keeping this since this book is a recuring theme throughout several episodes and an important part of one of the main character's story arc.  Have a nice day.--72.1.222.80 (talk) 00:57, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge - Make small section Brian's article. This a fictional book with a fictional publication. It has no real world impact. This isn't like As the World Turns '  Oakdale Confidential and the Harry Potter series' The Tales of Beedle the Bard both of which were fictionally published books that received real world publications.
