Murphy (novella)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Nominating entire Murphy series. Fail GNG and NBOOK. One book is reviewed in Publisher's Weekly, but none have multiple reviews in RS, or otherwise have in-depth (or any) coverage in RS. Author appears notable, but someone took this to mean all of his books needed articles. ‡ El cid, el campeador talk  17:21, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

 *  Speedy Delete - CSD G12 - most of these are likely copied from this page'. Added comment - I came here from Murphy's Herd and didn't realize there were multiple nominations here, but upon second look it seems all of the titles are borrowing from the above-linked page, so this may still apply. If this is declined, I agree that it does not appear to meet GNG and NBOOK. A S U K I T E  18:24, 6 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Copyvio reports for each linked article (minus the first, which does copy a little, but not as much):      - I would tag them as usual but since we're here already I don't want to spam CSD tags.  A S U K I T E  18:31, 6 July 2021 (UTC)


 * On second thought, I was able to remove most of the copying from each of these, but it doesn't really leave us with much. I'll just stick with delete, per WP:GNG and WP:NBOOK. A S U K I T E  18:41, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment the removed text was written in 2007 while the Ranker article linked above is from 2017 so its more likely that Ranker took the text from Wikipedia to build its article. Also Ranker wasn't even founded until 2009. Salavat (talk) 14:34, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect all to author. Polyamorph (talk) 07:54, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment, contrary to what the nominator states ie. "One book is reviewed in Publisher's Weekly, but none have multiple reviews in RS, or otherwise have in-depth ( or any (my emphasis) ) coverage in RS.", there are reviews out there: Murphy's Stand - Publishers Weekly (here), Booklist, and School Library Journal (here), Murphy's Ambush - Publishers Weekly (here), Library Journal, and Booklist (here), Murphy's War - Booklist (here), so 2 titles have 3 reviews, that meet WP:NBOOK and are keeps, the rest can be redirects to the author.

 * Redirect to the author, Gary Paulsen. Nothing to merge. Ifnord (talk) 23:52, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
