Violates WP:CRYSTALBALL. Perseus!Talk to me 22:52, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete An unpublished novel such as this should be subject to a very high threshold of notability. This article should be deleted and recreated only if the book is published and is reviewed in multiple independent reliable sources. Cullen328 (talk) 05:42, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep The novel in question is part of a series, where every single novel has been on the NYTimes best seller list at #1. His previous book The Red Pyramid, is still in the top 5 after 26 weeks. I believe this should sufficiently cover the debate about its notability. As of this time, The previous book, the Lost Hero is ranked #14 overall on Amazon. This article has been changed so that it no longer violates WP:CBALL. Preparation for the event, the publishing of the next book, is already in progress, and this is evident by the last page in The Lost Hero. I see no reason as to why this article should be deleted. Cullen328, "if the book is published and is reviewed in multiple independent reliable sources," look above at my previous statements, there is no doubt that the future publishing of this book is of great notability. See Rick's Site with the Son of Neptune another fact that this book is going to be published. Seeing as it is customary for Rick to release information well before publication of his books either unofficially on his official blog, or an officially through his publisher, this page will be needed to keep track of the updated released. I agree that WP:CBALL policy should be followed and this article is not violating WP:CBALL. Jab843 (talk) 23:17, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. This article may have a bit of information, but I have changed my vote to keep, as the site, at any time, may have more information. Also, on his blog, he said that he has done his research for the book. Perseus!Talk to me 20:21, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect search-queries at this time to The Heroes of Olympus (per suggestion of Perseus above). Shearonink (talk) 20:09, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep In agreement with Jab843, I think that this novel's article needs to exist now because it is part of a notable series. Although I would like to point out that this article will exist later whether or not we decide to delete it now. Winner 42 ( Talk to me! ) 20:44, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep In agreement with Winner 42 The book will be released sooner or later, so it pointless to delete it now, because soon new information will available. Breawycker (talk) 22:45, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Incubatewe should incubate it and see if more info becomes availeble.if not, delete it.Elektrik Band6:24 8 November 2010 (UTC)
