Does not meet the criteria outlined in WP:NB Ormr2014 (talk) 19:21, 12 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep the article cites three reviews of the book in suitable sources, and doesn't include or . Stephenson is sufficiently high profile that there will be plenty more reviews when the book is published, which will be when this AfD closes. Clearly meets the first point of WP:NB.

 * Keep Neal Stephenson meets the outlined criterion of a "historically notable author." All of his novels have articles, including several otherwise unnotable books, such as The Big U and Reamde. Seveneves will clearly be worthy of a page once it is released in five days, and it seems silly to dlete it now. SamGensburg (talk) 00:47, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

 * I'm withdrawing my nomination. There are really only two reviews cited. The first citation is a catalog entry and the citation listing Publishers Weekly has a passing mention of the book and is not even remotely a review. But in checking out those citations, I was able to find quite a bit of other stuff that would clearly establish notability.  Ormr2014 | Talk 13:19, 16 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep. The historically notable author thing can be debated- the catch with that sort of thing is that when it was initially written it was intended to cover authors like Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe. We've had trouble establishing this level of notability for authors like Stephen King and even Isaac Asimov, so Stephenson would be just as difficult. In any case, a search brought up multiple reviews for the work and many articles. I'm adding them in now, so this will have no problem passing notability guidelines as a whole.
