Non-notable book. Entrierly article is a plot summary, upon looking for coverage all I found was articles announcing that the book was in produciton. No WP:SIGCOV Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 21:13, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Weak keep Here's a couple reviews:
 * 1) Booklist
 * 2) Three-to-four paragraphs in Abilene Reporter-News
 * I could see a merge of the set of Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead series of novels into one page as well, but that outcome is probably out of scope for this AfD. Possible ATD is a merge to &mdash;siro&chi;o 04:51, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Notability (books) says: "A book is presumed notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, at least one of the following criteria:The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book." The two sources found by siroxo are sufficient for the book to meet the notability guideline. The first source is a detailed review of the book. The second source discusses the book and the series as a whole. Like siroxo, I could also see a merge to an article about the series but agree that it out of scope of this AfD as no series article currently exists.

 * If I indpedently created a Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead page could a merge be made into it. The page doesnt exit right so its not a valid outcome, if the page was made during the afd could it be merged into it? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 17:17, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
 * , since the second source discusses both this book and the series as a whole, I am fine with Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead: Descent being merged into a book series article. If a series article is created (and if no other sources are found for this book), I am fine with and supportive of a merge being done even if the AfD is closed as "keep".

 * Delete: Fails GNG. Nothing found meeting WP:IS WP:RS with WP:SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indpeth. Source eval:
 * , Library promo, titled "Plenty of zany zombie action at your local library"
 * , Database entry from Booklist.
 * , Upcoming release announcment, "For more ‘Walking Dead’ intel, follow Dalton on Twitter".

 * Delete - Abilene Reporter article has just a passing mention of the book. Booklist is more substantial but not what I would count as SIGCOV. EW.com link is just an announcement news, not in-depth coverage. --Mika1h (talk) 00:53, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
