Article about a fantasy novel series, not properly referenced as passing our notability criteria for books. The notability claim here is that the series exists, there's no indication whatsoever of the kind of distinctions (noteworthy literary awards, significant critical attention, etc.) that it takes to bridge the existence vs. notability gap, the article is referenced entirely to the author's own self-published website and GoodReads profile rather than any evidence whatsoever of notability-building coverage in real reliable sources, and the cherry on top is that even the author doesn't have a standalone Wikipedia article at all. (And while that isn't an instant speedy deletion criterion for books the way it is for musical albums, it is still a useful gauge of the article's prospects for salvageability.)

Delete as it fails WP:GNG and WP:NBOOK. A quick research has shown no results from reliable independent sources. Isabelle ^🔔 15:02, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. My BEFORE found no evidence the book series is notable, and the author doesn't have have an article, so there's even no SOFTDELETE redirect target. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:54, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
