Contested prod. Upcoming book with apparently zero history of notability assertion. Of the four references, one is the author's blog, and the other three are about the author, not about the book. Delete without prejudice against recreation once the book becomes a hit. Blanchardb -- timed 03:15, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- Delete. The report initially came from Twitter, apparently - that's a source that's about as reliable as any old word on the street, which is to say 'not at all'. Article is pure crystalballery in the meantime. Once Gibson releases it and it becomes notable, we'll talk. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 03:54, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- Redir to William Gibson since it will be a valid search term. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 09:43, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- Delete Clear WP:CRYSTALBALL Violation right there.--Cleave and Smite, Delete and Tear! (talk) 13:36, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- Redirect to William Gibson, where if it's not mentioned, it should be. I agree with Liefting that it's a likely search term. Mandsford (talk) 13:39, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- Comment Hey, Internet Detectives, you do realize this is William Fucking Gibson we're talking about, right? I mean, what the shit is the point of deleting this? Any idiot with his head screwed on knows that it's going to get reviews, critical attention, etc - sufficient to have an article by Official Wiki Standards™ - once it's published, so what is the point of deleting its article now? Seriously, explain it to me, not in terms of WP:XYZ nerdspeak, but in terms of criteria that might actually matter to an actual human being not afflicted with Aspergers. I look forward to it. 69.159.84.182 (talk) 07:41, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
- Delete Per WP:XYZ of the Internet Detective Official Wiki Standards™. Also, no reliable sources mentioning its existence, WP:CRYSTALBALL. --Odie5533 (talk) 08:09, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
