 * I think this artical is a good artical —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jesfromleahsdiary (talk • contribs) 20:14, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. All Ghits seem to be about a band, a floor covering and other stuff. --Tikiwont (talk) 20:23, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete And one that appears to be poetry by Clark Ashton Smith, which I've bookmarked... Elsewise, nowt. Nowt worth bothering with, at least. Fan fiction is sometimes notable, but like all self-published this is seldom. And judging from the plot synopsis, this ain't one. The reviewers are not a reliable source - they sound easily pleased. I have bought the Twilight series, but not read them as they were presents for a teenage cousin - and accept her judgement that they are good as I know the standard of her own writing (which I think I am responsible for setting her off at...). I'm not passing this one on to her. Oh yes, I nearly forgot. This looks a bit spammy for a facebook group too. Sorry, Jes and Annie - Wikipedia is not for promotion.

 * Keep How is this poetry by Clark Ashton Smith? And how exactly is it for floor covering ect? I am a LOYAL reader of Lunar Dusk. This is a great fan fiction for those who didn't want the saga to end. People write in their own time to please others. Do you really want to be the one(s) to bring them down? Destroy a future? I personally think the writing is a good quality standard for a thirteen year old. So back off. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.107.21.141 (talk • contribs)
 * We were just indicating that searching for the name 'Lunar Dusk', you find references to a band, a floor covering and a poem, but too little about this fan fiction, hence our recommendation to delete which has nothing to do with the writing style and surely the future of the site does not depend on having an article here. --Tikiwont (talk) 19:03, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * When I search for Lunar Dusk the first two aren't the Lunar Dusk here, they are the band. But the thrid, fourth and fifth are. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.107.21.141 (talk) 22:05, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I was too brief, the Google search is only a means to uncover independent and reliable third party sources than confer notability to a topic and allow for writing a verifiable and neutral artcile. What we're trying to say is that such refs do not seem to exist and we've searched ourselves as well, rather finding refs for other stuff (Facebook links rank high, but do not count as reliable). --Tikiwont (talk) 11:36, 23 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - This piece of fan fiction has no coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 17:07, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment The poetry was found when looking up 'Lunar Dusk'. Obviously Clark Ashton Smith used the words in something. (It's the sort of thing he would). If the writer(s) of this is/are only 13, I'll back off a bit about the quality. (But not about the notability...) I'd advise reading Clark Ashton Smith - he's a fair way back now but his stuff lives on and was pretty way out for its day. He is worth reading for his use of words and the lovely (possibly not the most appropriate word for CAS's work...) twists at the end in some of them. Can't remember if vampires come in, but zombies certainly do and some fairly weird stuff too. Good luck with the writing, anyway. Keep stuff you do even if it doesn't work. I posted in another discussion about a paragraph I kept for years before it turned into a story (and a prequel halfway there and a sequel to come. Even if something doesn't work, you can recycle.

 * Comment That's okay. I'll pass that on to Jes. I might check his poetry out as I am I big fan of poets and most English related subjects. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Annie-xx-alton (talk • contribs) 19:15, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Check his fiction too. And please sign with four ~ thingies... Peridon (talk) 19:17, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
