The result was delete. I am, however, happy to dredge it back up and userfy it if Thaguz so requests, to save him having to file for undeletion. Yunshui 雲‍水 10:14, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We request a stay of deletion of this article. Updated information is scheduled for publish September, 2012 as well as an addition of the Author's biographical article which will be linked. The author, Phil Ward, is a significant business and political figure in Austin, Texas. Thank you for your consideration. PS - Sorry for deleting the deletion notice on the original article. It's no excuse, but I'm a WikiNewb. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thaguz (talk • contribs) 20:05, 24 August 2012 (UTC) reorder comments to keep original nom at top.

Delete. No sign of notability. Thaguz may wish to request userfication of article so that he can reattempt it should the book series become notable soon. Notability of the author as a business and politics figure is irrelevant; not even all works by people who are notable as authors earn their own pages, per WP:NBOOK. --Nat Gertler (talk) 21:00, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. The books are self-published and have apparently attracted no attention from experts writing in reliable sources; whatever notability the author may have does not translate to these novels. Ubelowme _U ^Me 21:07, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
