Test to Destruction

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I prodded this with "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed Notability (books) supplement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar." (I'll add that I see snippets in an anthology or two introducing this, possibly written by the anthology or magazine editors that can be a bit independent, but I cannot confirm there is any WP:SIGCOV). It was deprodded with no useful rationale, so let's discuss this here. Can anyone find anything to save this? If not, the best WP:ATD would be to redirect this to the anthology Dangerous Visions or the author Keith Laumer. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:08, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment: What I'm finding so far has been mentions in relation to the main anthology, Dangerous Visions. This could probably just redirect to the main article for that. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  01:49, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment, have been unable to find reviews on this story/novelette, unfortunate that there is no article on Laumer's wikinotalbe anthology A Plague of Demons (1965, not just 2003:)), so a redirect to Dangerous Visions (1967) looks like the way to go.
