Girlfriends: Winter Wonders

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Seems like an unremarkable book, no sources or indications of importance given. This is likely a promotional article from the author; user has no other edits. — Timneu22 · talk 19:25, 31 August 2010 (UTC) Also nominating with this AfD: Girlfriends: Fresh Faces. Both book articles by the same user. — Timneu22 · talk 20:10, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Possibly not even promotional, as I can't find any evidence of it. Lulu haven't published it, Amazon don't seem to list it - and they'll list almost anything so long as they don't have to keep it in stock... No author's name given - probably as well considering the character list and the teenage style and spelling/grammar. No, that's cruel. I see this as a teenager's idea for a series - which is not yet written or at least not nearly ready to be submitted. I wish the author good luck - teenage romantic fiction can be profitable but it's not an easy field. I would suggest that the characters are a little perfect - and 'Ty Li Yung' is neither a Japanese nor a Thai name in my experience. It looks rather more Chinese and even there I have doubts about the 'Ty'. Her sister 'Mei-Ling' does have a Chinese name. Ty lives with "her japanese father who owns a very successful chain of expensive japanese restaurants around the world" - and he's living in (with all due respect to a city I visit at times on business) Leeds?

My delete should be taken as Both - the additional nomination came in after I'd posted. Peridon (talk) 17:41, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete both. I too am unable to find anything at all by searching either for the books' titles or for the characters' names. Seems to be unverifiable. Deor (talk) 20:28, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete both, violates WP:V. At best this is an unencyclopedic article on a non-notable topic. Likely a WP:WEBHOST issue. --Kinu ^t/_c 20:32, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as both article fail notability criteria for books. Every book has a plot and charakters. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 14:49, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
