The Halfblood Chronicles

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

This article is completly unsourced - not allowing WP:V. I suggest that unless it is significantly improved from a level plot summary to a critical assement of the series - that it deleted or merged into Mercedes Lackey. Issues included WP:NPOV WP:OR and WP:N. OrenBochman 06:37, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep - It's clear these books exist. Rather than just lazily using tools to autocreate an AfD, perhaps the nom should be a bit more collegiate and HELP. I have no doubt that references could be found if the attempt were made. Incidentally this is one of a series of noms made by this user over the last few days. The speedies have already been reverted (see WP:AN/I). - jc37 01:28, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you could start with WP:AGF. Also try including some policy related information in your response.
 * Why not reciprocate - you also can HELP - I can't fix all the articles at AfD. and it is the responsibility of creators or editors which published to mainspace too early. This article does not meet our standards for inclusion as is and hence should be removed or merge elsewhere.
 * P.S. how are the deletion CSD on a PornBio impact a decision on this article? I have also used twinkle to make this.
 * P.S.S I appears that you have come to this discussion to vote rather than discuss. ::
 * P.S.S.S accusing others laziness is a double standard when you do not bother to do the work yourself. BO &#124; Talk 13:55, 20 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep and suggest the nominator withdraw the request. References have been added to the article. I also suggest the nominator read WP:BEFORE, because in the space of ten minutes another editor managed to find 6 sources for the article. AniMate 19:13, 20 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Withdrawn per Afd Protocols and above suggestion. Reason: editors have since established that this article may satisfy WP:N and indicate a good will to bring it into compliance with policy. Other problems should be discussed on the talk page or though tagging, C.F. WP:RESPTAG. An aside - the suggestion of a Merge was the result of the WP:BEFORE investigation.
 * Note to closer etc Be advised that three of six sources introduced are unreliable. The Kirkus reviews provides its reviews as a paid service. The requester can suppress them if they are considered too unfavourable. Now that that WP:COI is part of the article. This and other non-WP:NPOV issues damage what is already a fan site article.
 * I planned to work with these good faith editors to quickly correct this problem as well. However I have since decided to retire do the defametory nature of a recent attacks on the WP noticeboard - I cannot in good conscience continue to work on wikipedia as long these remain in the public record on a high-profile notice board and in contravention to WP:Policies. Also on more practical level persistent WP:Griefing and at unrelated actions. E.g. name calling by participants in this proceedings - by an admin in abuse of his authority is at cross-purpose with any further work on my part. BO &#124; Talk 10:59, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
