Comment. Perhaps an editor with access to The Wikipedia Library or other premium databases will be able to find reviews of the book. I should point out that Roswell, Texas was a real community that should probably be the subject of an article.

Redirect to L. Neil Smith. I found a brief review^[1] and a mention in Encyclopedia of Weird Westerns^[2] but not enough to support notability as a stand-alone article. Schazjmd (talk) 23:16, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
in my personal opinion, I think it should just be mentioned in the published works section of the article. Death Editor 2 (talk) 01:03, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Based on what I see now, a redirect to Smith's article is appropriate. I'll check my webcomics books tonight to see if any of them mention this at all, but I doubt I'll find much there. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 07:29, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Schazjmd. I haven't been able to find any sources beyond the Booklist review and Green encyclopaedia entry; none of the sources in the article seem to be reliable. As such, the sources are sufficient for a one- or two-sentence mention but not an article. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 15:25, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
