Notability
[edit]I came across this while doing NPP. I did some research to see if I could justify removing the PROD. I could not because I could find lots of discussions of the indvidual books, which as RebeccaGreen has just shown are each individually notable, but no sources suggesting the series as a whole is notable. As notability can't be inherited, or in this case the opposite of that, I ended up leaving the PROD. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 13:20, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comment. I have noted in some of the reviews that they mention the series as a whole - I have not yet attempted to add any evaluations, either of the individual books or the series, from the reviews.
- I would also note that WP:NBOOK states:
- "A book that meets either the general notability guideline or the criteria outlined in this or any other subject-specific notability guideline, and which is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy, is presumed to merit an article.
- This is not an absolute guarantee that there will necessarily be a separate, stand-alone article entirely dedicated to that book. Editors may use their discretion to merge or group two or more related topics into a single article."

- This seems to me a good instance where one article on the series may be better than 7 or more separate articles on the individual books. RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:25, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
- Given the newness of the series and its academic bent I think the idea that one article on the series encompassing all the books rather than individual ones on the books is a strong one. Good enough for me to remove the PROD and mark it reviewed with NPP. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 13:27, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
