Article creation[edit]

@Balon Greyjoy: I'm sure you saw this article was redirected. If you try to re-create this article, be sure to include sources, and critical reception and sales information, otherwise the page will likely be redirected again. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:06, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Another Believer: Hey, I did see that it was redirected, but I had assumed that nobody had created the article, not that it had been created and then later redirected. I'm a little confused why this article was removed, as per my understanding of Wikipedia:Notability (books), this book had sufficient notability, per this guidance: The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book. When I created the article, I included reviews from Publisher's Weekly and Kirkus Review, so, as I understand it, creating an article about the book itself is permissible. It looks like you are a much more experienced editor than I am, so I would like to get your take on this, as I was under the impression that I was in the right.

@Balon Greyjoy: I wouldn't have redirected your article, at least not immediately, but User:Onel5969 did, so perhaps they can share why. Either way, next time try adding more content and clearly demonstrate notability to reduce the chances of another redirection. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 01:49, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. The Kirkus review is fine, Publisher's Weekly isn't really an in-depth review. As Another Believer said in is initial comment, it needs more sources, more in-depth coverage. It redirects to the NYT bestseller list, that would be a nice citation. I had hoped that the NYT article would include a citation, but that is very poorly cited. If it had a citation, I was going to simply add it to the article, but it doesn't.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 08:16, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
