Young Bond Book 5


Wikipedia is not a crystal ball Suipd Lorry 07:22, 16 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep: I think this is a bad faith nomination, it was the OPs first contribution. This series of books is popular and well known, and I think it's as valid as having a page for the last Harry Potter novel which also hasn't come out yet. Ben W Bell   talk  08:05, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, bad faith nomination. As Ben W Bell said, if Harry Potter Book 7 has an article, why not this article? --Ter e nce Ong (C 08:42, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, the book's not due for release for another three years and the YB series has nowhere near the same popularity of the Harry Potter franchise. Not to mention Book 7 is due out in under a year. RHB 12:09, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete Somebody crystal balling again. scope_creep 14:37, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. So far as I know, we have no other articles for books that will be released in THREE years. The highest I can get is A Memory of Light, in two. Thus arguments based on "HARRY POTTER BOOK!" make no sense. Besides, inclusion is not an indicator of notability. -Amarkov blahedits 15:25, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Certainly too soon to have an article for this; 2009 is quite a ways off. --The Way 10:17, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. No crystal balling here as this book has been announced. 23skidoo 15:38, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Properly sourced article - no crystal ball here. And, for a book coming in Jan 2009 we actually know quite a lot about it. More could definitely be written. K1Bond007 16:20, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. From the start, the Young Bond series was announced as a five book set that chronicles James Bond's years at Eton. Before the release of SilverFin, author Higson gave plot details for all five books and spoke specifically about the importance of Book 5 as a series closer that will tie all the books together. So why should Wikipedia's Young Bond information only include 4 books? One the first questions many fans ask about the Young Bond series is, "How many books will there be?" As it stands now, Wikipedia answers that question at a glance and goes one better in providing accurate plot details of ALL the books in series. And there is no "crystal ball" at work here. Thus far, all the info on Book 5 has come from author Charlie Higson himself (who starts writing the book next year). If Wikipedia wants to be a source of information about the Young Bond series, eliminating Book 5 and everything we know about it makes no sense. --Zencato 16:59, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
