The Steel Inferno

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

I came across this article along with the accompanying article about the authors and noticed a lack of reliable sourcing, as every link is a primary link of various types. A search brought up nothing to show that this indie novel or its authors are ultimately notable. It exists, but existing is not notability, nor is notability for author proven by publishing a book. This looks to be promotion for the book, but it looks to be just borderline enough to where I didn't think either the book or the authors' pages would qualify for a speedy.

I am also nominating the following related page for the above reason:

Note to admins: The page for the authors has been deleted at least twice via speedy, so you might want to look into salting both articles if/when they are deleted. It looks to be entirely possible that the original editor may try to re-add the pages in the future.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 12:22, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete; does not come close to meeting WP:GNG. Only ghits for Nicole Pettibone are self-published, and this page is created by what appears to be a WP:SPA, and the article source relies entirely on one youtube interview which has attracted 326 views, published by - wait for it - NB Pettibone. I'd go as far as to say WP:CSD#G11. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Baldy Bill (talk • contribs) 18:39, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
