Having looked at the previous AfD, looked through the sources, and done a WP:BEFORE search, I do not think this article satisfies WP:NBOOK or WP:GNG. None of the online sources constitute significant independent coverage, and the offline source I was able to access (AHistory) only contains a two-paragraph plot summary in the context of a timeline of the fictional universe of Doctor Who (weirdly this source doesn't actually support all of the text it purports to support).

  • Keep This was one of the most consequential of the Missing Adventures novels, and it received a subsequent audio adaptation as well. It satisfies WP:GNG. The DWM review by David Owen is substantial. The book is also covered in David J Howe's "The Who Adventures" (Telos Publishing, ISBN 9781845831851). The article could do with some improvement; I'll see about finding more resources. Bondegezou (talk) 10:57, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've done some work expanding the article, including adding several citations of various sorts: there's a primary source [1], and some shorter references [2][3][4], as well as two longer online articles [5][6] and a review in the magazine Starburst (magazine) of the audio adaptation.[7] I'll try to do some more later.
