[edit] Nation (novel)

Nation (novel) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Next to nothing is known about this future Terry Pratchett book. The sole content of the stub - that it will not be a Discworld book - is pure speculation. Thus I believe it is better to delete the whole thing and start fresh once some reliable information is released. CharonX/talk 03:50, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

  • It is NOT pure speculation... Pratchett is on the record as saying it will not be a Discworld novel. Barbara Osgood 18:29, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Comment: Then please give us a source for this. The most recent source regarding "Nation" I found was [1] and it explicitely states "Is it Discworld?" he asks, anticipating the question, and answers: "Not necessarily. At the moment I'm just writing. If it needs to be Discworld it will be Discworld. It could be set in this world 150 years ago while still more or less being a fantasy. The codename for it is Nation." Regardless, I think right now it is just too little content to have an article about. CharonX/talk 19:42, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per Dacium. If "Nation" is not going to be the book's title (and it appears that it's not), there's no reason to retain a stub at this name. Deor 00:59, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as crystal balling. The quotation from the source provided even has Pratchett saying "if it needs to be Discworld, it will be Discworld", so in other words we know precisely nothing about what it is or what it will be. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 09:11, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
