Fieldwork (novel)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Unnotable book. Seems to have came in second place for an award. Article created on 20 July 2003‎ and used to describe this particular novel years later. Article has never had sources. Delete this article as anything relevant belongs at Mischa Berlinski, the young author's article. VLARKer7 (talk) 16:31, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. The nominator should have followed WP:BEFORE, and it is especially hard to understand xis failure to do so given that I pointed out the existence of sources when I removed his proposed deletion.  This book has received serious reviews in numerous sources, a number of which are already cited at the author article.  Some examples quickly found by a basic Google search: Los Angeles Times, The Believer, Entertainment Weekly review  and Stephen King's column about what he saw as the book's mis-marketing, Deseret News, The Independent, Christian Science Monitor.  Search also shows that it showed up on a number of best-of-the-year lists.  --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:53, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Source reviews indicate wide coverage sufficient for book notability guidelines. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:47, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
