The Passages of H.M.

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unsourced article about a non-notable book fails WP:GNG and no third party sources beyond paperback swap and amazon.com. --Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 22:52, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep per sources I just added to the article, as well as the following:   I can't help but suspect that this nominator may not have followed WP:BEFORE.  Jinkinson   talk to me  00:24, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep this article because the claim that this book is "non-notable" is not valid. This novel was published by a major American publisher, Doubleday (an imprint of Random House), and was reviewed in three major U.S. newspapers (The New York Times, The Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times). Therefore, it should be considered a "notable" book, and this article should not be deleted because of a lack of "notability." Nick Spengler (talk) 13:43, 10 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep per WP:BK #1 and comments above. The now-linked reviews in the New York Times, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times meets the threshold of multiple, non-trivial published works about the work by an independent source.   Neil916 (Talk) 18:09, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
