Untitled[edit]

Article Zarthani has some duplication with this one, could be easily merged... AnonMoos (talk) 00:11, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Probably would have merged it already myself, except that I haven't read the sequels, and don't care that much about the sequels... AnonMoos (talk) 13:29, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

@Cunard, @Daranios, @Jclemens - just stumbled onto this, my BEFORE is giving me nothing. Anything you see before AfD discussion? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:32, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen is certainly notable. Not sure exactly what you're proposing with respect to other articles related to this one. AnonMoos (talk) 06:04, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't looked at related articles, my first question is - does the article about this book series meet GNG? Not all book series are inherently notable. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:51, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever -- If you simply propose the deletion of this article without attempting in any way to account for or adjust for the effects that such a deletion would have on closely related and connected articles, then I will certainly oppose your proposal, since in that case it would seem to be mostly based on short-sighted disruptiveness. AnonMoos (talk) 14:57, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ugh. Mind your tone, please. WP:AGF. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:34, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

After you tell me what your plan is for closely-related articles which would be affected by the deletion of this one, then I will consider whether to adjust my tone at that time. AnonMoos (talk) 04:39, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The "closely-related articles" also seem to not be notable, and may also be deleted. QuicoleJR (talk) 19:38, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen is certainly notable (as I said first thing above). AnonMoos (talk) 21:44, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The book? Possible, but right now this is not evident from the article. ISFDb doesn't list any awards and their list of reviews is not very impressive: https://isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?3049 (one magazine, one fanzine, and what is media type: CHAPBOOK?). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:11, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever -- there were a whole lot fewer awards in 1965 than there are today, and its eligibility for what few existed may have been compromised by the particular circumstances of its initial publication. I notice that you also carefully omitted the facts that it's been almost continually in print for the last 58 years, and has been translated into German, French, and Italian...
