"Book report" article written in-universe w/ no sources other than the books themselves. Should be deleted or alternatively, merged into author's article. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 20:26, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. At most this could redirect to the author's page, but I don't think that there's really any need to merge content into the author's article. It's already fairly well covered in its own section, at least as covered as available sourcing allows. What's in the article is pretty much just indiscriminate fan wiki type content. As far as sourcing goes, the most I could find was a review at Foreword, which is unusable because nowadays they sell reviews as part of their marketing service. It's a shame, as Clarion used to be more respected. I'm not sure when they started the pay to review service, but it casts some doubt upon anything reviewed by them.

Delete: Agree that there is nothing to merge. (The only useable content currently in the article as far as I can tell is "Diadem is a series of fantasy novels by John Peel.") Not sure there's any point in a redirect, since it already has a disambiguated title - just need to update the disamb page itself to link to John Peel (writer). -- asilvering (talk) 00:02, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
