Can't find any reviews to demonstrate notability; seems to fail WP:NBOOKS. Mikeblas (talk) 13:57, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The book is mentioned in multiple sources ([1][2]) as one of the earliest web novels in China and has been adapted as a film. It is also reviewed in multiple research papers ([3][4][5]). It seems to pass WP:NBOOK criteria 1 and criteria 3. @Mikeblas:--180.172.239.231 (talk) 14:32, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Passes the general notability guideline based on the sources cited above plus the other seven in the Chinese Wikipedia article. Needs expansion though. Philg88 ^♦talk 06:27, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete - This seems like a local self-published article and the author is irritated that someone else appears to have plagiarized its content. The article contains no references that suggest notability and I find nothing online that suggests any notability.--Rpclod (talk) 17:58, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is a paucity of references in English because it is a Chinese phenomena, which doesn't make it any the less notable. Philg88 ^♦talk 19:44, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Sources on Chinese Wikipedia plus noted above. -- GreenC 04:18, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Clearly meets WP:NBOOK.--180.172.239.231 (talk) 13:48, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
