Lack of notability. Only two very short reviews from unknown newspapers exist. Gabe114 (talk) 14:51, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Notability (books) says: "A book is presumed notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, at least one of the following criteria:The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book." The 1975 novel The Star-Crowned Kings has been the subject of two or more reviews. From its entry on the Internet Speculative Fiction Database:Review by Baird Searles (1975) in The Science Fiction Review (Monthly), August 1975Review by Frederick Patten (1975) in Delap's F & SF Review, November 1975 I also found this three-sentence review from Galaxy Science Fiction and this review from Paul Walker Luna Monthly (though it starts out with "Robert Chilson is a friend of mine, but I was his friend, I was his fan."). I found this page from Science Fiction Book Review Index, 1974-1979, which lists six book reviews for the book. The entry notes: "The star-crowned kings. New York: Daw, 1975. 188 p.SFRM 6:11.
