procedural nomination—version brought to AFD: This article went through a PROD-dePROD cycle in August 2006 and has improved somewhat since then (see diff between PROD'd versions). However, the novel that is the subject of the article still suffers from a lack of notability. As the recent PROD nominator stated "Covered by Geoffrey Gates, not notable enough for a separate article." My recommendation: redirect to the author's article.

- Redirect to Geoffrey Gates, I'd say "merge and redirect" except there's already more about the novel in the author's article than in the novel's one. The article hasn't improved since being PROD'ded - it has clearly attracted some maintenence efforts (categorization, stub sorting, etc.), but zero new content. This is precisely why articles like this are better off merged, every article, no matter how tiny, requires maintenence as Wikipedia style and standards shift. --Stormie (talk) 01:22, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect I was the recent nominator -- didn't realize then that redirection as an alternative to AfD doesn't require discussion, or I would have done so to begin with. Shall we do so and speedily close this? Jfire (talk) 03:03, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
