The result was Speedy Keep pretty much per Coolabahapple's analysis, and gross failure to comply with WP:BEFORE. (non-admin closure) The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006. (talk) 19:01, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Uncited stub for more than 3 years Killer Moff (talk) 12:45, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- This book was published in 2001 so the reviews aren't visible to Google mostly, but there were tons of them when it came out, so it easily meets WP:BKCRIT criterion #1: "The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews." Just for instance, it was reviewed in:

Keep. Per 192.+, and if you want some online presence, here's a starred review in Publishers Weekly[1], PW's later audiobook review [2], Kirkus Reviews [3], a negative review in the Los Angeles Times[4], and Janet Maslin in The New York Times[5]. Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article. The sources aren't in the article? WP:SOFIXIT. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:47, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, "Uncited stub for more than 3 years" and?, this should have been speedied as no legitimate reason given for deletion, anyhow, meets WP:NBOOK and WP:GNG with numerous useable reviews as listed above, Killer Moff, when WorldCat lists library holdings of over 1000 libraries with multiple editions thats a pretty good indicator of notableness, then entering "Coldheart Canyon clive barker book reviews" in gsearch its a nobrainer.
