This page has a lack of real world notability. It's entire page consists of plot summary and character profiles. There is nothing more to add. Everything about this article that needs to be said is already on the V.C. Andrews page. The entire Casteel series is listed on that page. There is nothing else to add.

- Comment Notability is not established by the type of content which the article contains. Plot and characters are relevant to a comprehensive understanding of the book itself. Please see WP:NBOOK for good justifications for non-notability. The author is fairly notable, and I would argue that significant coverage of the content of her work is appropriate, Sadads (talk) 14:46, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment While I concur that the author is indeed notable, that's no reason why her books deserve a seperate page all on their own. They are mentioned on the authors' page, and the entire Casteel series is summarized there. In order for a book to merit its own article, it should have an impact on society, or some form of controversy that makes it notable. I'm not sure I described that right, but the book by itself is not notable. Even the series by itself is not notable, though I may concede that point given a good argument.

- To further add to my above comment, I did check out WP:NBOOK. If the author is historically notable, then extensive coverage of their work can be justified. But although V.C. Andrews may be popular, I doubt she is considered historically notable. Perhaps this is where the debate begins. Lorilei Mackenzie (talk) 07:54, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
