Lucky (novel)



 * DeleteWP:V, WP:OR, WP:IINFO ex.#7 and WP:CRYSTAL concerns.  Cool Blue  talk to me 19:17, 9 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep it but remove all the junk below the stub template. I took the liberty of doing that, hope thats not a problem. Cheers. -Ĭ₠ŴΣĐĝё 19:46, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Is there a reason for your keep entry, out of curiousity? It obviously fails WP:BK, considering it hasn't been published yet.  Cool Blue  talk to me 19:54, 9 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL without prejudice should this book a) actually be published and b) sell enough copies to be notable. I had thought this was about the Jackie Collins book, which (quality aside) was a million-selling New York Times best seller translated into 50 languages, and passes WP:BK handily. -- Charlene 19:50, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as there is no way to tell now if it will be notable.DGG 20:09, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete this stub per WP:CRYSTAL. Doczilla 05:20, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Neutral. There's nothing really there so it's hard to support a "keep", but for the fact that the article will clearly be recreated once the book published.  Cecily von Ziegesar is without question one of the most major YA authors writing today, and the rest of her bibliography is appropriately articled out.  Ford MF 09:57, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, not yet notable. John Vandenberg 13:52, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to article on the series. Presuming this series is notable enough that any future books will merit articles, I see no reason to delete this when a redirect will serve just as well.  That said, I am also concerned that this would need to be a disambiguation, though the only  novel I could find was an Avon Romance which I'm not sure merits an article.

 * FrozenPurpleCube has a good idea, but we have to consider the thought of other novels named Lucky, and the confusion that this could cause, esp. per Charlene above, considering that this is probably some small 4th grader-middle school book, and there are probably a lot of other, better-known books, by the name of "Lucky".  Cool Blue  talk to me 22:36, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * According to the dab page, there are no other novels called Lucky listed; there is only one other book, Lucky (memoir) by Alice Sebold. I do agree that there are others that may be listed in the future, however.  María ( habla  con migo ) 12:20, 11 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete, the only referenced listed is Amazon's page on the upcoming novel, so I'm not denying that the book will be released and may in the future be notable. It is now, however, not notable and information on it is scarce.  I say delete it until more information is available, which will probably be at the time of its release; future novels are not like future films in that there is not such buzz over a book unless it's by an extremely high profile writer.  This one isn't.  María ( habla  con migo ) 12:20, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep soon to be released and will clearly be recreated. JJL 23:52, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It's still WP:CRYSTAL, and there's no telling if it will pass WP:BK.  Cool Blue  talk to me 00:17, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
