I Never Told Anyone

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable book, no coverage in reliable secondary sources. Also, the author's article is tagged with POV issues. -  C HAMPION  (talk) (contributions) (logs) 23:42, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Article has no refernces. Search tool produces only one hit of any note, a review in Kirkus Books. Only one mention in a reliable source. Fails notability. Delete. Tapered (talk) 00:58, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect To Child Sexual Abuse the phrase is quite common, and it has been established before that redirects don't have to be notable. The phrase is quite obviously attached to this awful genre. L3X1 (distant write)  01:52, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Keep This book doesn't seem to be notable and there is almost no coverage of it in secondary sources. I don't think that it should be redirected because I don't think this book has a significant relevance to any other articles. Imalawyer (talk) 06:02, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * The only significant relevance is the fact it's title is a phrase mostly associated with child abuse.L3X1 (distant write)  14:42, 14 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Redirect Because the book will turn up in google searches, because it's 'stock phrase,' redirect is a better idea. Tapered (talk) 23:00, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I've changed my vote to keep, but I would still be opposed to a redirect. I don't think it's sufficiently recognized as a stock phrase that a redirect would be appropriate. Would anyone search "I Never Told Anyone" looking for an article about a stock phrase? Imalawyer (talk) 06:36, 15 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep: I used my college's database to look up sourcing and found quite a bit. So far it looks like it began as a bit of a darling in its academic sphere, but has since received some criticism over how it was written. What does everyone say - I'm pinging to see what they think. I've expanded the article greatly. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  05:26, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
 * It also looks like it's used as a source in various academic works. Here's an older work, but I still see it used or mentioned here (2000), here (2008), here (2010), and here (2015), among many others. It looks like it's considered a fairly groundbreaking work from what I've found. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  06:01, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
 * The article has been substantially improved and the secondary sources prove notability. I've changed my vote to keep. Imalawyer (talk) 06:36, 15 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep Thanks Tokyogirl. The thing abotu redirecting is: If someone googles INTA, a lot of stuff about child abuse will pop up, so why not have the wikipedia article on the search return also? But never mind that, I changed my vote to keep. L3X1 (distant write)  14:44, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Hmm... maybe a hatnote? We could probably add that the title references the fact that a lot of abuse victims say this. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  20:39, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I've added this. My worry with the redirect is that there isn't necessarily an automatic thing people would be looking for necessarily - it makes sense to you and I, but there's not really anything in the main child sexual abuse article that uses this phrase or has a section that uses a similar phrase. For example, you'd expect to see something about this in Child_sexual_abuse but that discusses disclosure where the children are forthcoming about the abuse, even if just slightly. I don't see anything in the article about a child not coming forward to talk about the abuse that would make sense for the redirect necessarily. It's not that I'm against it, just that I'm just uncomfortable redirecting it without something to show why it would redirect, as it may not have the same context for every person.

 * Keep - The article has been greatly improved by Tokyogirl and references added. Some of these are reviews of the book and demonstrate that it meets WP:BKCRIT. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:49, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Sources reliable. Ergo notable. Good job of creating context. Tapered (talk) 11:47, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
