No time left david baldacci

Fails WP:NBOOK. Although a Google search may suggest, on first inspection, that the book has good coverage from independent sources, many (if not all) of these sources are either the publisher, online bookshops that offer the book for sale, or otherwise non-independent.

Delete while the author of this book is fairly notable, there is little in the way of reliable independent coverage of this work. The best I could find were blogs and goodreads reviews. Winner 42 Talk to me! 15:00, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not a major work of any kind. --Jprg1966 ^(talk) 17:58, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Nothing that shows this particular story is independently notable beyond a mention in the author's page. Crow^Caw 18:53, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep. Merge per User:Coolabahapple. seven weeks on the bestseller list of USA Today, discussed by the Washington Post, by the LA Times, by the New York Times, by Forbes, by The Wall Street Journal, et cetera.Anythingyouwant (talk) 22:39, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

These articles/sources appear to mention the subject only in passing. TYelliot | Talk | Contribs 23:32, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Check out the WSJ article. It's the main subject.Anythingyouwant (talk) 23:38, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That article doesn't really talk about the work itself, but rather the practice of pricing books cheaply. Winner 42 Talk to me! 23:46, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The pricing is an aspect that would be suitably covered in the Wikipedia article. Also, the story "features Frank Becker, an aging assassin with work-life balance issues". Also it was originally published in 2010 as part of an anniversary issue of a book "Absolute Power". Then you have the sales figures and the bestseller status. It just seems like plenty for a brief Wikipedia article.Anythingyouwant (talk) 00:00, 17 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to David Baldacci, does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NBOOK, google search brings up nothing notable, just bookseller and blog sites and other trivial sites (have added title with some plot info to author article). Coolabahapple (talk) 10:13, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's reasonable. I added a WSJ footnote to David Baldacci. If someday that author article gets too big, it can be split per WP:SS.Anythingyouwant (talk) 15:22, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
