Gold Medal Murder

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Reads like the summary of a book report. No indication that the subject book is notable per WP:BK Taroaldo (talk) 21:28, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Keep. And I though I was fast with tagging articles... I was just turning this into a valid stub. The book is a recently published part of the Undercover Brothers series of detective fiction by Franklin W. Dixon and Carolyn Keene. Definitely notable. De728631 (talk) 21:33, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Please explain (with specifics) how it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, the criteria in WP:BK. Simply being part of a "special series" of some kind does not make it notable. Taroaldo (talk) 21:45, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, interesting. You might want to ask that question to user SoWhy too who recently declined one of my deletion requests on that very reasoning. Seems there is no real agreement on the impact of a notable series of the individual publications. But there is still no reason to delete the article, a simple redirect will do it as well.

 * Well, that was a speedy deletion request not a discussion at AfD. But you are right that Wikipedia can be extremely inconsistent. Taroaldo (talk) 22:28, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Redirect to the appropriate section of Undercover Brothers. The book does not meet the notability requirements (which, re User:De728631's point, are not the same as for songs / albums) and as none of the other books in the series has its own article there's no reason why this one should be the exception.

Merge into the Undercover Brothers article. The article's content would be useful to someone looking for info about the series. Christina Silverman (talk) 22:34, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge and Redirect to Undercover Brothers. The information in the article would be appropriate once summarized in the main article, but I can't see how this could meet WP:NB. Claritas § 09:50, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
