Fails WP:GNG - While the individual novels are notable, I could not find WP:SIGCOV of this specific box set. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)^{Talk to Me!} 16:17, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. I didn't have any luck finding SIGCOV either. I also find it quite hard to imagine this type of boxed set becoming notable in general. MCE89 (talk) 16:31, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I was not able to locate any coverage that matched this specific boxed set. The ISBN in the article results in 'not found' when searching open library or world cat. Gab4gab (talk) 17:00, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I honestly don't even know if this exists. I can't find any record of something by this name ever getting released. If it was ever released it was quite a while back and it gained zero coverage. Honestly, most box sets aren't notable. Publishers put them together all the time, especially around Christmas. Sometimes the books aren't even specifically printed for the box set, as they may just be a way to utilize spare copies floating around. They're that common. It's exceptionally rare for a collection to get enough coverage to justify inclusion.

Since there's really no good place to redirect to and because we don't really even have a way of proving that this exists, my recommendation is to just delete this and remove any mention of it from Wikipedia. That last part might seem a bit overkill, but if we can't prove it exists we also can't prove that this wasn't someone trying to sneak a hoax onto Wikipedia. Low stakes hoaxes have been found on here before, after all. Not that I particularly think this is a hoax, just that we can't rule that out. Any place that does mention this looks to be a mirror of Wikipedia. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 17:35, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ReaderofthePack It is surely non notable (can't find any source that mentions it) but it existed. See [1] the same set on eBay. So not a hoax but firmly non-notable. Though, are there even notable box sets? I wouldn't think so. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:07, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You did better than I! As far as box sets, I feel like there was one, but I can't recall it offhand. I think it was more of a general collection than a box set itself, admittedly. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 19:35, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
