[edit] Knight and Dove

Article about an unpublished book series, created by the author "so when I do publish the book some people have an understanding of the book right away, and also to save me some time." An obvious deletion, but books aren't included in CSD#A7, and my prod was removed by the author. —Celithemis 00:10, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Agreed, per everything in the nom. Thedreamdied 00:29, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - this has to go. - Richardcavell 01:21, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - WP:CRYSTAL applies here. --Haemo 02:34, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
• Disagree, it shouldn't matter if it's not actually out if it's going to be printed in the near future.--LordJohnBaker12:07AM, 5 March 2007 (PST)
• Delete Not even published? What is this, Miss Cleo? Alex43223 ^{Talk | Contribs | E-mail | C} 05:31, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete no question Balloonman 05:48, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable crystal ballery. Also, the author appears to be publishing the books himself. Maxamegalon2000 06:06, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
• Don't Delete HE IS publishing it Himself, he's already had it sent to be so, but it's a personal friend who does book publishing and he said it'll take time because he gts hundreds of orders a month. The reason I made this page is so when it IS released people can use this as a reference point for my brothers novel if they want to, and so he can also add to it himself. There is no 'crystal ball' involved if it IS being published, who cares if it's the author or a huge company?DamianFoxx 01:11, 5 March 2007 (PST)

• Published or not, it is not notable. Publishing a book does not make it him or the book notable until there are notable sources reporting on it.--210.49.152.114 07:22, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - an unpublished book does not a notable author make. WegianWarrior 07:37, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - per nom StuartDouglas 14:31, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Delete - clear and confessed case of Self Promotion see WP:COI. Also, this article violates pretty much every other policy I can even think of. I mean it's an article about a non-existent book that's future existence is only known to the guy who wrote it and his buddy(brother?) who wrote the article. - Arch NME 15:58, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Unpublished books, just being used as a place for irrelevant info.Tellyaddict 16:22, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete -as COI/self promotion.-Robotam 17:13, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - No WP:NOTE and I doubt this person will keep the commitment to write the epic 13-book series. If it does ever become popular, someone other than the writer can make a new article then to ensure WP:NPOV. It's not written to Wikipedia standards and Wikipedia is not a place for things that might be notable later on (WP:CRYSTAL). - Pious7 17:39, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete; no assertion of notability from any third-party sources, not even published yet. Fourohfour 20:15, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
