Spooks Nightmare

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

Sourced to official websites of author and publisher. There is one article in a WP:RS about the author, but it doesn't mention this book and only mentions the series in passing. Unable to find any other WP:RS discussion of the book. or that it passes any of the criteria of WP:NBOOK. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 02:46, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I'm torn between recommending a redirect or just outright deletion. I found one review, but that's pretty much it. It was nominated for a minor children's award but didn't win. Now the thing is, the title itself is incorrect - the title should be The Spook's Nightmare and there's already a redirect under this title that goes to The Wardstone Chronicles, the series page. I suppose that there's some merit in keeping it as an alternate redirect, but typing in Spook's Apprentice brings up the correct title with "The" attached, so I don't know that there's really a need for a different redirect. A look at the history for that redirect shows that there's already a page article history there that actually has a bit more information if this individual book ever gains more coverage in the future. (I forgot that I'd redirected that page back in 2012.) In any case, the book seems to still fail notability guidelines as a whole, the question is do we keep this particular article version as an article redirect or not.

Delete Dearth of mentions of this work to be found on the web indicates notability insufficient for own article. Nomination for award could be covered in The Wardstone Chronicles to which a redirect with the correct name of the work (The Spook's Nightmare) already exists. A further redirect with this (incorrect) name would surely be excessive. Guffydrawers (talk) 12:27, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
