These are 3 unsourced articles on books that appear to in no way pass any of the criteria of WP:NBOOKS. I cannot find any reviews published in reliable sources, they do not appear to have won any literary awards, they do not appear to have made a significant contribution to the arts, they do not appear to be taught in schools, and the author himself is not inherently notable enough to have his notability extend to his works. —Ryulong (竜龙) 08:13, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

There are heaps of reviews, including from Orson Scott Card. However, WP bores me. There can be no victory over the animu clan. Shards. -WikiSkeptic (talk) 07:14, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Do you have evidence that such reviews exist?—Ryulong (竜龙) 07:16, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Since I wrote the original entry for cat here on WP, I don't have to follow the dictates of the johnny-come-lately citation mafia. I know what is notable; I know what is not. However, I am feeling generous... http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?6573 ASHLEY GREYSON 1988, ORSON SCOTT CARD 1988; Hugo/Nebula winnign sci fi author; http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?154130 Parasite Pig multiple reviews -WikiSkeptic (talk) 07:25, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

You keep bringing up that you have some magical sort of seniority over me or the project in general when you have no way to back up those claims. That seems to be a recurring theme in your work, as you do not see fit to keep up with the times and write articles that have references to back up things you state. The current rules and regulations of Misplaced Pages are what you should be adhering to, and there is no amount of things you state (writing the first version of cat, which cannot frankly be proven, being a classicist) to change that fact. I would find that your insistence that sources are not necessary is not at all welcome in any academic community, and this being an online encyclopedia should be no different than if you were to be proposing something to be published in an academic journal. This means that you need to show that individual books are notable on their own, unless the author is some sort of paragon in the field that everything he has written is notable because he is. I do not find this latter piece to be the case for Mr. Sleator.—Ryulong (竜龙) 08:26, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
