The Mortal Instruments Trilogy

I do not believe this series yet meets the thresholds for notability of books. This article also lacks sources independent of the author's websites. Nancy Vandal 13:10, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - not notable, not well sourced, a fandom puff - Ringbark 09:01, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hard to see a stronger case for keep, since the book has been on the appropriate New York Times best seller list [1]. Ban Nancy Vandal for vandalism, he's a member of the FandomWank community, check out his posting history, here and there, who gets his rocks off cyberbeating up on less attractive adolescent girls, like Cassandra Clare. Also check for sockpuppets, so many anon vandal-like posts to the articles. Warn Ringbark that if he comes from FandomWank or its livejournal buddies, as looks like the case, that he's committed bannable behavior. VivianDarkbloom 19:40, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep City of Bones, Delete The Mortal Instruments Trilogy. The novel itself appears to have been reviewed in a few places, and made the New York Times bestseller list as noted above. It being the first book of the trilogy, and just recently released, I don't think we need an article on the trilogy itself. The article does need some sourcing, links to reviews where available. (Do note that VivianDarkbloom has been blocked for 48 hours for violations of WP:NPA and WP:CIVIL; also note that claims about Ringbark may be offset by his three-year participation history here.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tony Fox (talk • contribs) 17:22, August 28, 2007 (UTC)
