Lincoln in the Bardo

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:TOOSOON article about a novel whose publication is almost a year into the future still, with no indication whatsoever of the reliable source coverage needed for it to already warrant an article today. Delete, without prejudice against recreation early next year when actual book reviews actually start showing up. Bearcat (talk) 21:35, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as too soon, nothing yet suggesting an acceptable article. SwisterTwister   talk  23:13, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to George Saunders. Saunders is an important author and there has been some substantive coverage about this upcoming work, his first full-length novel, e.g. .  But it would be very unusual to have a separate article for a book to be published in the future, and there's not enough to warrant such an unusual separate article here.  It's a reasonable redirect, however, given that the upcoming book is already mentioned (and sourced) in the Saunders article. --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:27, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
