The Willow Tree (novel)

While the author is definitely notable at least for having written Requiem for a Dream, I'm not confident he's hit the "all published works are automatically notable" level. And if he hasn't, this certainly isn't. Of course, anyone who'd like to argue he DOES fall into that field is welcome to assert so. Vianello (talk) 19:10, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not a vote just a comment: I would argue that is is notable just because it is the first novel he wrote in very many years after Requiem for a Dream. It is notable because the author apparently stopped writing all together and then started writing again as if out of nowhere. — Falerin^{<talk>,<contrib>} 19:29, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. While it doesn't address any specific notability criterion, that doesn't sound entirely unreasonable to me. The "re-entry" work of the author of a prominent piece of literature probably has some merit of notability, so you have a point there. - Vianello (talk) 21:11, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or maybe merge with the authors page. Filceolaire (talk) 22:51, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
