Promise me not

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod. Novel series with no assertion of notability. Delete.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 00:28, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Doesn't appear to fail WP:BK, and google returns nothing (alt. search). I put some tags on the article, but some further investigation led me to place it on AfD. Lәo(βǃʘʘɱ) 00:33, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The above !vote, a delete, was transferred from another nomination of the same article created by mistake. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 00:36, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. An accident on my part, but my vote still stands. Lәo(βǃʘʘɱ) 04:41, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Strong Delete per first comment. Get rid of this nonsense.-- The Legendary   Sky Attacker  02:17, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, basically a plot summary of a book with no notability asserted. J I P  | Talk 02:42, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The article needs (serious) work, but that's not a reason in and of itself to delete. The article is talking about a series of books, so maybe it should be fleshed out to become an article about those books? Ohms law (talk) 03:59, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as established above non-notable. Ridernyc (talk) 11:45, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - the article gives us very little to go on - only the series title, no titles of books, author's name, ISBN... Searches find nothing to confirm, I seriously doubt whether this exists anywhere but the in author's mind. In any case, certainly fails WP:BK. JohnCD (talk) 13:53, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete there is nothing to save here and searches to find something to add to it have come up empty. Might be notable one day but not today.--RadioFan (talk) 20:06, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep My mother is working on this book series and plans to have all eight books published by fall/09. Please do not call my mother's work nonsense. Queen Padmé Amidala (talk) 15:07, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * You should read the guideline on Notability {books), particularly the sections Criteria and Not yet published books; also, if you are writing about your mother's books, the guideline on Conflict of Interest. Wikipedia is not here to advertise forthcoming books. JohnCD (talk) 15:22, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Delete This, I think, is drabble stored in Queen Padmé Amidala's mind. RossGod:RedeemCarlyne (talk) 20:46, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence of notability. And as it's clearly not yet published, such evidence is unlikely to be forthcoming for at least some months. --Dweller (talk) 16:05, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete One, if Ohms law CAN flesh out this article, I'd be very interested. Two, I'm not personally acquainted with Drabble's work (but I do enjoy her elder sister's comments in many intellectual discussions), however this seems to me to me drivel in the mind of an intelligent teenager who needs to listen more closely to the conversations around (probably) her. (OK, I know this is a very small sample, but I couldn't resist that.) (As Robert Silverberg found in the case of James Tiptree, Jr, it doesn't pay to be too positive that you know the gender of someone you've not met...) Three, there seems to be no evidence outside this article for the existence of these books - and getting eight books of a series published in three to six months is only possible via our friends at lulu.com and similar. Self-publishing, in other words. No real commercial (as opposed to vanity) publisher would take the risk of putting out eight books by an unknown author so close together. Only spin-offs like the (to my mind excellent) Buffy books can get that treatment. Four, if Her Majesty is in fact the author's daughter, then the current non-published state necessitates deletion. As I can find no evidence of publication (and none is asserted in the article), I must conclude that WP:CRYSTAL is failed. Peridon (talk) 21:51, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

I am her daughter thank you very much. Queen Padmé Amidala (talk) 16:55, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Oohh...Touchy are we? Not trying to break rules here (talk) 22:21, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, "Elizabeth Rullen" gets two Google hits, neither of them having anything to do with these books. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 07:52, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * comment I think it would be safe to say we can snowball this and speedy delete it as even the author of the article admits this has zero notability. Ridernyc (talk) 10:31, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
