The Dragon Rider

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod for an upcoming self-published book printed by a print shop lacking editorial oversight. While a search for the book title produces a large number of false hits (probably due to the popularity of the Inheritance Cycle), a search for the book's author finds no apparent matches. Delete as per Wikipedia is not for things made up one day unless the independent third-party sources needed to create a verifiable neutral article are provided. --Allen3 talk 23:18, 20 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. This is a non-notable book by a non-notable author. Clearly fails Notability (books).Nrswanson (talk) 00:14, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Besides the lack of notability, Wikipedia is not crystal ball: the book will be launched in December 2008. Zero Kitsune (talk) 01:37, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and allow back once the book is actually published and gets a few nice reviews.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 03:47, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
