Article cites no sources, and no strong sources came up in my search. I tried the Wikipedia Library, OpenBooks, Google News, and Newspapers.com. No review or in-depth coverage. The best source I could find was this piece in ScreenRant, which covers a few snippets of the plot. I don't think the article could be built on such a source, and doing so would not get us into compliance with WP:NBOOKS#Articles that are plot summaries and WP:INDISCRIMINATE.

• Redirect to Blade Runner (franchise)#Books - I am only finding very brief mentions of the book, such as the ScreenRant fluff piece linked to in the nomination. For example, this article, which goes in depth on the first of Jeter's Blade Runner books, briefly mentions this sequel at the end, but it does nothing more than state that it exists. Likewise, this article, which is an overview of the various spinoff media of the franchise, mentions it, but has no actual coverage or discussion about it beyond that. From what I can see, only the first of Jeter's Blade Runner books, Blade Runner 2: The Edge of Human, actually got any significant coverage. That said, the Blade Runner franchise article has a section for these books already, with a quick plot summary, so redirecting there would be preferable over deletion.

  Great suggestion. Please consider me a redirect !vote also. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 17:05, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect/Merge. I tried Booklist, Kirkus, and Publishers Weekly for reviews, with no luck. I suggest "merge" because it would be nice for the plot synopsis at Blade Runner (franchise)#Books to spell out the ending (more spoilers and less "hook"), so drawing on the very long plot summary in this article could be useful to add two more sentences to the franchise page. In general redirect is the right alternative to deletion. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 07:44, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
