Pines (novel)

Non-notable book, fails WP:NBOOK, prod template removed without reason WWGB (talk) 05:36, 8 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep. Perhaps merge and redirect to a section in Wayward Pines article about the TV series based on the Wayward Pines book trilogy, of which Pines was the first book. Perhaps keep and expand to cover the other two books also, and move/rename to "Wayward Pines (book series)".  This book, the first in a trilogy, is the inspiration of the TV series, which means it meets wp:NBOOK. It's not clear there need to be a separate article about each book, but some coverage about Pines and the other books in Wikipedia is appropriate, and for now keeping the coverage in this article and further developing it seems fine.  Note the article creation was the first and so-far-only edit by a new Wikipedian.  Eliminating the editor's entire contribution to Wikipedia seems harsh and unnecessary.  And proposing that it be deleted is, frankly, rude.   I mean no disrespect to the PROD-placer and to the AFD nominator, as aiming to delete new articles is common practice in Wikipedia, but it is no way to welcome a new editor, and it is wrong, in my opinion. -- do  ncr  am  06:31, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
 * P.S. I added to the article and note that the topic meets criteria of wp:NBOOK in spades.  Perhaps wp:BEFORE was not performed? -- do  ncr  am  07:02, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
