The result was merge to Jilly Cooper. There is small consensus to merge. Since the nominator hasn't said anything against it, I'll go ahead and close this AfD. (non-admin closure) Michaelzeng7 (talk) 21:01, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Octavia (TV serial)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unaired television programme: made in 2007, this was due to be aired in 2008 or 2009 but was apparently never broadcast. As such, it seems unnecessary to have an article about it, particularly one that still describes it as 'upcoming'. Though there are a few sources, I don't think this is considered notable under our guidelines. Robofish (talk) 12:43, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Jilly Cooper. If we had an article about the 1978 novel, I would say to merge it there, but the article is well-sourced, and easily updated to remove "upcoming" and "as of 2009". --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:22, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Jilly Cooper per Colapeninsula. I did a search to find some sources for the novel, but I couldn't find enough to suggest that it would really merit an article independent of the author. I think part of this is probably due to it being a 70s era book, with much of whatever publicity it did get not making it onto the Internet. I see where it's certainly popular, but I just can't find anything for the novel or the failed serial. I did a general search for "Octavia", but not much came up for the TV serial other than a handful of brief mentions in some papers.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:54, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
