[edit] Allegiance (novel)

There are very few books that ought to have an artilce before they have even been published. i see no reason why this should be one. Delete and recreate or merge into an article about the series after thje book is published. DES ^(talk) 20:25, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Agreed. Devotchka 20:34, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
• KEEP. There isn't a main article about this series. The books by this man have been quite notable, as he is a primary Star Wars author. The Wookieepedian 02:05, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
  • There should be, and in fact there is an article about the first sub-series, which may expand into an article about the whole series. I agree that the author is quite noteable, his non-Starwars books are generally reagerded as very good indeed in the SF world. But unpublished books by even quite notable authros are usually not proper subjects for artilces unless ther has beena great deal of public comment and interst in the specific book. None is documented in the artilce for this one, which seems to be based entirely on publisher handouts and/or the author's public statemetns. DES ^(talk) 16:46, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
• KEEP. Because of the way Star Wars books work with series in series this book is really a Stand alone book. The book was announced here[[1]]. There is a lot of public interest[[2]]. This book is major and if you do delete it the article will just be remade.--User:Jedi6 November 1, 2005
