No plot summaries, please. Falls under WP:NOT. Shalom Hello 06:07, 5 July 2007 (UTC) What I think is odd is that tons of other book articles have plot summaries but they aren't up for deletion! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anna F C (talk • contribs) 16:57, July 5, 2007
 * Did removing the plot summaries solve the problem?--Chaser - T 06:16, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Nominator's reasoning no longer applies. Greg Grahame 12:31, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete/redirect Precedent seems to be to keep book articles as long as they meet the "threshold standards" of WP:BK, but I have a hard time justifying why this needs an article when it doesn't seem to be notable under the normal definition, and the article includes no real information (which I think is the real point of the nomination: that the plot summaries constituted virtually the article's whole content). None of Korman's other books have articles. I suggest redirecting to the author. Propaniac 14:52, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree with Anna F C, many book articles -- like Harry Potter have rather longer plot summaries than this article does. - Lemon flash talk  21:45, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Amend this article with sections on criticism and praise; controversy; awards and honours; commercial success; translations; cultural impact; and future adaptations, and I don't think anyone will have a problem with it. Having a long plot summary is not a reason for deletion; having almost no meaningful content BESIDES the plot summary may be a reason. Propaniac 23:24, 5 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete As per WP:BK, it does not meet any of the criteria, mostly because it is unreferenced: not the subject of multiple independent publications, has won no awards, not adapted to a film, not used in instruction, and not a historically significant author. Yeah, that should do it.  Tdmg 03:05, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as per tdmg. — The Storm Surfer 05:54, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
