The WolfMan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unsourced substub, might be a hoax. KATMAKROFAN (talk) 02:19, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NBOOK. What this article lacks in sources, it doesn't make up for in anything else. Although this article is about a book (or a supposed book), it doesn't even identify the book's writer. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:31, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - simple Google found notable author. Have improved article, might do more when not on mobile.   Pam  D  07:23, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment. Even after being improved, there are still problems with the article. Jonathan Maberry did not write a novelization of The Wolf Man (1941 film); he wrote a novelization of The Wolfman (2010 film). Furthermore, his novelization was titled The Wolfman, not The WolfMan. And everything in this article could preferably be summarized in The Wolfman (2010 film) by saying "The film's novelization was written by Jonathan Maberry" instead of needing a separate article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:19, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * This article has changed yet again since my last comment. It may change even further before this AfD is done. Thus, the reasons I have provided for deletion may not always be in sync with the content of the article at any given time. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:24, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment: Film novelizations typically don't require a separate article for them unless there has been a substantial amount of coverage and/or the book differs greatly from the final work. I'll see what I can find, but offhand I'm not finding much. This might be best off as a redirect to Wolf man (disambiguation), given that we have at least two different books with similar titles - not to mention a few others in the print media section of the disambiguation page.

 * Redirect to Wolf man (disambiguation) may be a good solution; the work is not independently notable of the movie. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:27, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
