Article has been unsourced since at least 2020. I have done a quick Google search and Google Scholar search but have been unable to find more reliable sources. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 02:38, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: I also could not find any RSes about this novel. voorts (talk/contributions) 03:16, 10 December 2023 (UTC) [reply]

• Keep - Articles on books are are formatted differently. I added a source for the first paragraph. No sources are required for the Plot section. I added an external link to the book on Project Gutenberg, which provides many online links to this book. — Maile (talk) 04:35, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Yes, but you need something that talks about the book, a review or a scholarly study. Simply existing isn't enough for a wikipedia article. Oaktree b (talk) 04:55, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Maile66: Can you explain what you mean when you say, "Articles on books are are formatted differently"? I understand that the plot section does not require a source. However, books still need to meet certain notability requirements, as explained in WP:NBOOK. I do not see those requirements being met for A Bride of the Plains--at least not as the article is currently written. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 05:13, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
