• Delete Quote: "Yaya only intended to write about 4 to 5 books in the series but, owing to their high sales and immense commercial success, he went on to write 6 full-length books featuring the characters.". Quote 2: "The first book, Aniand is still being written.". I can personally quite well understand how a series can expand of its own accord, but these two quotes seem to me to be totally incompatible. I would think the second quote is the most likely to be correct, as I only get ghits at bookemon for this author and work. (2 ghits) Date of creation: Jan 11, 2009. Hardly enough to obtain 'sales' of any sort - especially as "The first book, Aniand is still being written." Non-notable at present. While Harry Potter was rejected by several publishers at first, I feel this hasn't got to the submitting stage. If it does (get published), we'll reconsider.

Salt spam and crystal? Sounds like a rather uncomfortable meal.... Peridon (talk) 21:53, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you realize how much sodium is in one serving of spam? Try 580mg. MuZemike 22:19, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong delete – I don't think it's of the blatant nature for G11, but it's defintely pure crystalballery. Also, it is clear that the creator is using Yaya jallow (talk · contribs) to write the book. Whatever it is, it defintely does not belong here. MuZemike 22:24, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ye gods! (and little fishes...) I'm sorry to be negative, but it's stuff like that clogging up the publishers' in-trays that makes it hard for anyone sending good stuff to get considered. It all gets tipped into the bin. Well, if the writer is about 13 it's not so bad for practice, but it's nowhere near publication standard except for lulu.com. Looking at it again, it reads a bit 13ish. Advice if this is the case: Abandon this for now. Keep it and later it might form the basis of something worthwhile, or bits might be recycled. Work on creating characters with character, and dialogue that sounds real. Don't go for the epic to start with. Start small and get the style flowing. And watch the spelling - spell checkers only find non-existent words. They don't point out wrong words. Peridon (talk) 23:00, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Delete Unpublished, unsourced, unnotable, and based on the intended use of JK Rowlings characters, its a fanfic. Edward321 (talk) 00:50, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per all of the above, COI, WP:Crystal ... just delete, don't drag this out and have this poor kid wasting his time writing children stories. — Ched ~ ^(yes?) 00:53, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong delete. If the author is still writing his first book, it probably isn't notable. Note that I have cut out eight paragraphs of Harry Potter plot description from this article which presumably are not going to form part of this novel. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:03, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
