The Mariner Project

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Article about a science fiction novel, not properly sourced as passing our inclusion criteria for novels. The only notability claim being made here is that the novel exists, and the only footnote present is a purely tangential source that verifies a fact about the science itself without mentioning this book at all in conjunction with it. Simple existence is not in and of itself enough to get a novel into Wikipedia, especially given that the writer doesn't even have a Wikipedia article at all.

 * Delete. I can't find anything on this book beside a page on GoodReads and the possibility to purchase on various websites. It does not seem to be notable.Spiralwidget (talk) 14:43, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. This looks to be your typical self-published book. It released, but gained no coverage in places Wikipedia would consider reliable. The page creator is long gone, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was a case of the author creating the page, given the dearth of coverage in the book blogging world as well.
