Santiago: a Myth of the Far Future

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This is a plot summary of a book without its notability asserted. PROD was contested with comment: "author is notable sci-fi author, book is well known in field. article may need cleanup, but that's specifically not a justification to delete an article" This is not a valid rationale for notability. While the author may be notable, that does not make his books automatically pass WP:BK. Also, it is unclear to me what else can be reported about this book beyond a simple plot summary. -- Sent here as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B. Wolterding 11:11, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep extremely notable author, and a fairly notable book within its genre anyway. There was even a sequel, The Return of Santiago. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  14:15, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep - As above - the book is highly notable; the author is extremely notable and award-winning (5 Hugo awards, 31 Hugo nominations), and it's one of the books everyone in the field recognizes by name. Georgewilliamherbert 19:26, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep - As above. Numerous reviews in Sci-fi circles.--Wynler | Talk 22:41, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
