History in For Want of a Nail

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This topic fails WP:N due to a lack of third party sources. Third party sources exist for the novel itself. But there's no basis in references for creating a WP:CONTENTFORK of For Want of a Nail (novel) that focuses entirely on plot, especially since Wikipedia is not just plot summaries (see: WP:NOT).

 * Delete I loved For Want of a Nail, but I agree entirely with Shooterwalker that there's no basis for a separate article that, essentially, is the plot of the book. The article about the novel itself incorporates many of these elements, including maps and illustrations, and it's nice to know that there's a For Want of a Nail wiki for people who enjoyed the alternate history of a world where the American Revolution failed.
