Non-notable anthology. I don’t think having Steven King et al. featured in your collection automatically makes it notable, especially if there’s nothing to write about it beyond copypasting the table of contents. (On an unrelated note, this sounds like a planned entry in the Borderlands video game series) Dronebogus (talk) 08:03, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I found one reliable source that reviewed it. https://www.publishersweekly.com/978-1-880325-37-7 Dream Focus 21:10, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It was reviewed also at Booklist which is a reliable source also. https://www.amazon.com/Borderlands-5-Stephen-King/dp/1880325373 So that and Publisher Weekly I mentioned, count was multiple reliable sources reviewing it. Dream Focus 23:57, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and speedy close. Aside from the reviews mentioned here (mostly listed at isfdb, which should be checked with regard to the coverage of any SFFH book), it won the Bram Stoker Award for anthology of the year, given by the professional association Horror Writers of America. Don't waste our time. Comply with WP:BEFORE and use the results to fix any problems you can. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006.

- In all fairness to the nominator, the video game series does dominate web searches, even for "borderlands 5" without additional qualifiers; a BEFORE is less straightforward in such circumstances. Jclemens (talk) 07:29, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - - Thank you for defending me, Jclemens. It’s a bad looking stub with almost zero immediately obvious results, so it’s not really blatant enough to the casual editor to be “speedy keep as an obvious waste of time”. Dronebogus (talk) 11:18, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Finding reviews for a book is easy as checking Amazon.com since they quote them. You can also use a custom search I made for books and writers at https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=000940472126197254432:ojqph5ir04q Anyway, the nominator also nominated two of the writers.

Keep The Bram Stoker award should be added to the article, but is easy to verify once you look for it. Jclemens (talk) 07:28, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, easily enough reviews for notability.Jackattack1597 (talk) 00:34, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
