 * Question: Could the nominator please explain why the book fails Wikipedia's notability guidelines for books? -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:26, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. Eleven books in the series have their own articles - they're linked at Guardians_of_Ga'hoole - and I don't see why this one should be any different. I'm not arguing WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, just opining that they should either all go or all stay. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:26, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment - Neelix, instead of AfDin all the books in the series one by one (i believe books 12 and 14 were AfDed, while 13 and 15 were prodded), why not create for all the eleven together and see if we can achieve consensus to merge everything back into the series article. AfDing one by one is a duplication of effort.--Sodabottle (talk) 19:43, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The only other Guardians of Ga'Hoole book article deletion discussion I have taken part in was for Book 12. I normally try to give each article its own discussion because, even among articles that are very similar, levels of notability often vary. Do you believe all the books to be insufficiently notable to justify separate articles? If so, feel free to create an AfD that includes all the individual book articles.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

 * Keep or Merge the whole series into one article. There may be a case for merging them to be made, but deleting just one of the series of 11 is just plain silly. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  14:39, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as nominator - It is not silly to delete an article about one in a series. Think of the Smallville episodes; some of the episodes are notable and others are not. If a mass deletion discussion took place, either articles on notable subjects would have been deleted or articles on non-notable subjects would never have been properly addressed. The same may very well be the case with the Guardians of Ga'Hoole books; I believe that they deserve individual discussions. Neelix (talk) 12:11, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - fails WP:NB and WP:GNG. We can pretty quickly nominate the rest for deletion under similar grounds if this closes as a delete. Claritas § 11:47, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - I agree that this fails WP:GNG in general and WP:NB in particular. Reyk  YO!  02:16, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
