Not notable novel that fails to meet WP:NBOOKS. — Ṟ Ṉ™ 05:25, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. It looks like there might be a language barrier here, but I also want to state that there's a huge article for the series as a whole as well as for a few of the individual entries. I think it might be worthwhile to lump all of them together in one AfD because there seems to be issues of notability for the series as a whole due to the lack of overall sources. Considering that the series has released this year (according to the articles), this might be a series of articles that were just prematurely added.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:28, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll correct myself- the series as a whole does seem to be notable enough to have an entry and the series was originally published in the 80s. I'm just not sure that there's enough sources to show notability for the individual entries just yet, but if there is then we do need to update them to show when they were originally published.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:46, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to The Legend of the Ice People - along with the other Category:Novels by Margit Sandemo in the series. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 03:46, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete as copyvio from the blurb on the back, which is reproduced independently here [1]. Also we should get rid of any other articles in this series which consist of nothing more than copyvio+name+publication date. Morwen - Talk 19:14, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to The Legend of the Ice People. There should be a brief mention there of each book, e.g. in a list; the series might be notable but the individual entries not so much. (Merging most of this across is inappropriate.) --Colapeninsula (talk) 00:24, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
