Jerusalem's Lot (Stephen King)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This does not establish notability independent of Stephen King's works through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of plot details better suited to Wikia. The only real world information is a rather trivial piece primary production information and three sources for a statement about Lovecraft influencing his work that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic of the article.

 * Keep The setting for one of the best know group of works in contemporary fiction. Such articles are not justified as a mater of routine, but they are in this particular. If it were one particular novel, a merge would be possible, but since many of his works are set elsewhere, there's really no suitable alternative location. Furthermore a search for references shoould be able to find published discussions of the setting as such. FWIW, the nom and I have argued this in many venues over the years, but I though some sort of a balance had been reached where it was accepted that WP coverage of fiction can include articles on plot and setting and characters where the works were sufficiently important.

 * Keep - Yeah, it's a bit crufty, but this is encyclopedic enough as an explanatory mechanism for one of the leading authors in American contemporary fiction. See, for sake of comparison, Yoknapatawpha County for William Faulkner or Middle-earth for J. R. R. Tolkien.
