Border Things

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unnotable and unreleased book. Fails WP:BK. Sources are dubious at best and only sourcing is about its non-notable author and how he didn't end up on Survivor. Tagged for notability in December 2009. Both tag and prod removed by creator, User:Jonfoerster, without reason given. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 16:31, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I found zero sources. Joe Chill (talk) 16:53, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No significant coverage of this book in anything approaching an independent reliable source. Jennifer500 (talk) 17:29, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This article originally had more sources online; I will search for more credible sources over the next few days. In the meantime, I have edited the article to reflect only what can be currently supported. Please allow me a few days to find and add more links before deleting.jonfoerster

I've reverted your edits as they basically redid the entire article to be about Thombre rather than this purported book. He is no more notable than the book, however in either case you can't just completely refactor the article to be about another subject. Further, the sources "added" were non-reliable or had nothing about him or the book. Sources must actually support what they are being used for and not just randomly added. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 23:10, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: jonfoerster, I'd say save what you've got and start again when there is more information available. While this is being challenged for notability a year before the book's publication date, later you may be able to find a variety of good secondary sources for a solid article. If it is likely Thombre will continue to write or has other notable achievements, it would be appropriate to start with an author page that includes information on the book. --Sainge.spin (talk) 05:24, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm adding a delete vote to my comment for lack of available information. --Sainge.spin (talk) 07:49, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
