The Prisoner (novel)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The entries in this article should be merged into The Prisoner (disambiguation).

This page title should then either a) have Henderson's Boys: The Prisoner moved to it (Henderson's Boys: The Prisoner is the only novel called The Prisoner that has an article on Wikipedia; and consensus has been reached to delete the "Henderson's Boys:" from the Henderson's Boys novel articles' titles), or b) redirect to The Prisoner (disambiguation).

 * Well... the only problem is that Henderson's Boys: The Prisoner has some pretty serious issues with notability to where I don't know that it really merits a page outside of the main series article. I'm not finding any in-depth coverage for the novel apart from this Guardian review and being part of an overall notable series doesn't automatically mean that each novel has achieved notability enough to have separate articles. For that matter, that seems to be a big problem for a lot of the books in the Henderson's Boys series, as they all seem to have issues with independent notability.

 * Merge and redirect to Prisoner (disambiguation). I don't see where the Henderson Boys book particularly warrants a page outside of Henderson's Boys and I would say that it should redirect to the main series page. As a matter of fact, I'll go ahead and WP:BEBOLD and do that right now. However that said, I don't see where we need a separate disambiguation page for the books since there aren't that many books by this title. I've already merged the data into the disambiguation page, so all we have to do now is redirect. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   04:00, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd redirected, but my redirect was undone and I've been asked to get a consensus on the book pages, so I've opened an AfD for the individual books here. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   04:18, 31 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep, speedy close. This is a content dispute, not a discussion regarding deletion. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 16:47, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
