Keep. The collection is not self-published (Wildside Press is a reputable publisher specializing in but not limited to science fiction, fantasy and horror). The author is a notable figure in the speculative fiction field who has won and been nominated for major awards. Truth in advertising: I do have something of an ax to grind here, since I created the article. Just so you know. BPK (talk) 14:10, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Question. How does this book meet WP:NBOOK? AFAICT, it doesn't. -- Mikeblas (talk) 14:44, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I can't find an ISBN for this title; this is why I maintain it is self-published. -- Mikeblas (talk) 02:47, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
 * You haven't looked very hard, or perhaps not since you nominated the article for deletion. I found the ISBN quite easily, and added it to the article on 17 June 2014. BPK (talk) 22:26, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Great, it's got an ISBN. Notability still isn't established. -- Mikeblas (talk) 14:24, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Darrell Schweitzer. I cannot find evidence for notability to justify a stand-alone article. The two references in the article only establish that the collection exists. I can find no significant coverage about this collection of short stories.  I see no substantive book reviews or critical commentary.  I do see lots of links to sales sites.  -- Whpq (talk) 18:12, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
