Marissa Meyer

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unknown author, first book just released. I trimmed out all the info on the 3 "due in 2013/14/15". Links are not reliable, and it is simply WP:TOOSOON to be writing articles on this author and her book s. I would also include these two articles in the AFD, which relate to the same author.
 * The Lunar Chronicles
 * Cinder (novel)

 * Delete - TOOSOON is polite phrasing, so that's a good way to say it. Fails GNG. Carrite (talk) 02:34, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment/Keep I found substantial coverage about this young novelist and her works. It was published by significant US media, see LATimes, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, LGBT Weekly, Deseret News. I can imagine a decent article backed up by reliable sources. Meets GNG and WP:AUTHOR, No 3. The information in our articles (about the author and her books) is duplicated, so I would suggest to merge and redirect the information a) under Marissa Meyer b) under Cinder (novel). It can be developed separately if the author and her books receive more differentiated feedback. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 21:34, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talk about my edits? 17:52, 29 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. The novel has certainly received sufficient coverage to be considered notable, so Meyer as a novelist is also notable.--Michig (talk) 17:57, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: Coverage of first book is pretty pervasive, and it made the NY Times YA bestseller list, so it seems ok by me.--Milowent • hasspoken  04:40, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep and Merge. The author keep.  Either Cider should be merged with Lunar Chronicles or Cider and Chronicles be merged and redirected with Meyer.  As Vejvančický said, no need to have duplicate information everywhere. Bgwhite (talk) 21:14, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
