Redemption (Fast novel)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Seems to fail WP:NBOOK. Doesn't have sources, with only a review from a website and an Amazon.com page as external links. Kirbanzo (talk) 14:45, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Fails WP:NB. No signs of notability. Got one page on Amazon and one on goodreads (which is also owned by Amazon). The link to the review is not working in my region or country maybe. Error code 404. Harsh Rathod  Poke me!  17:56, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. At the time of nomination in Special:Diff/799904668/840226519, the article was indeed not unreferenced, and that aside, notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article, and sources are only found when we go looking for them. I had no problems adding citations to six good sources: bylined reviews from Los Angeles Times, The Christian Science Monitor, and The Washington Post, as well as several cite books.  The article more than meets  now. Sam Sailor 14:09, 10 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep. Works by bestselling authors such as Howard Fast, whose name alone is sufficient to sell a book, are usually considered notable by their own accord but, thanks to well-researched references provided by Sam Sailor, Redemption's notability is unquestionable.

 * Notable per Sam Sailor. James500 (talk) 11:30, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: After seeing this article's current state I changed my vote. Mr. Why don't you do this awesome job to other articles, too, which are nominated for deletion? Maybe I didn't search properly enough.  Harsh Rathod  Poke me!  18:00, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I occasionally overcome my laziness and source an article... Sam Sailor 21:58, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
