Plot summary. Already a good amount of info on Simon Kernick. The Weak Willed 16:34, 7 August 2009 (UTC) * Redirect - if the author is notable (if!). --Triwbe (talk) 16:51, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep now has just enough overage in WP:RS. --Triwbe (talk) 19:35, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep : This was the bestselling thriller in the UK in 2007 (fact now sourced and added to article); does that not make it notable ?
 * Added fact that its sold over 300,000 copies.GrahamHardy (talk) 16:54, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Cited Guardian review that it was "Pretty much unputdownable".GrahamHardy (talk) 16:58, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It was also the 4th most borrowed book from UK libraries in 2008 - added to article with citation GrahamHardy (talk) 17:05, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep now that third party sources are provided. Zombie Hunter Smurf (talk) 17:01, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect if the author is notable. I don't think best selling book in every genre in every major country for every year must get a page just because of that reason. Greenleaf (talk) 17:21, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I think that that would be a good criteria to include a book; especially for genre's as popular as thrillers GrahamHardy (talk) 16:50, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. With the addition of references from The Times, The Guardian , The Independent the 'Plot summary' rationale for deletion is no longer accurate. maclean 20:32, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Now that it has been improved with better sources, I withdrawl my AfD. Not sure what happens next though, as this is the first I have withdrawn. The Weak Willed 13:50, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
