Glass books
Fictional objects from a novel published in August 2006. While the novel is doing rather well (Amazon sales rank ca. 4,500), the Glass Books themselves are not notable enough for their own article, especially as there is a severe lack of reliable sources. It might seem advisable to turn this into an article about the novel, but that would amount to a complete rewrite (besides, I can't do it since there are not that many sources about the novel, either). Thus, delete. Huon 13:34, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:FICT. Items within a work of fiction should not have their own article if the work itself does not have one. --Metropolitan90 14:37, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with the book if that article is created, else delete. Possibly self-promotion by the publisher. See this wikimediauk-l post - "A wider online presence is also being created for the book, using Google Earth, Wikipedia, ...". Angela. 15:09, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the book if the book gets an article by the end of this AFD (and that's highly questionable unless and until there's third-party evidence anyone cares), else delete - David Gerard 15:17, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per above; should the book make it as notable in itself (rather than beig promoted here by the publisher) then it should be in that article. Personally, I'd have speedied it as, well, spam! --AlisonW 16:09, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * You are in fact entirely correct. I've killed it. - David Gerard 16:58, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
