The Beast Within (novel)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unsourced article that is just a plot summary. Fails WP:GNG. None of the information in the article is mentioned in its two provided sources, save the title and author name dropped in one article about a movie not actually about the book. Found no WP:SIGCOV of the book anywhere, just a very small WP:RUNOFTHEMILL book review article. Author Edward Levy is also currently at AfD. Newshunter12 (talk) 19:13, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Doesn't meet WP:NBOOK either, and I wasn't able to find much about it on my searches. Isabelle 🔔 01:18, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep: I added three reviews to a Reception section from The Dayton Daily News ("Here's a good read for a full moon"), The Raleigh News and Observer ("Three tall tales of the supernatural") and The Johnson City Press ("A most horrifying story"). I believe that this demonstrates notability. — Toughpigs (talk) 02:41, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Coming up with reviews from 40 years ago is a feat, I must say. A good result, satisfies notability. -- Whiteguru (talk) 05:25, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Available references justified the notability of the subject. Priyanjali singh (talk) 14:33, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep RS is noted for the book, and the book was made into a movie as well. Deathlibrarian (talk) 16:17, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep after recent changes -- more good work from Toughpigs. --Lockley (talk) 23:44, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
