Night Watch
Little evidence that this work or its author is notable. Insufficiently quotable in my opinion. —  User: Tryst  21:26, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete as nom. -- User: Tryst  21:26, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable work, lacks quotability. -- Cirt (talk) 00:53, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not a notable book. This book was hacked out from an outline by another writer who passed away before writing it, and appears to be a weak imitation of his style. ~ Ningauble (talk) 18:55, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep This author has published several books, which should be enough to establish notability. The fact that he has been allowed to complete books started by Alistair MacLean seems to support rather than detract from his notability.  Quotability is of course subjective, but this article is not in the same league as some of the rubbish we have discussed here.--Collingwood (talk) 07:03, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Whether or not the author has some marginal notability for other works, this novel is hardly sufficiently notable for a standalone article. ~ Ningauble (talk) 15:29, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Then the vote should be to merge to an article about the author.--Collingwood (talk) 07:22, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * No, because none of the content is sufficiently quotable to be on any page here. It doesn't really make sense outside of the context of the work. -- User: Tryst  (talk to me!) 11:30, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * That's a purely subjective issue. Many quotes make no sense out of context.--Collingwood (talk) 07:40, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * If the work is notable, the context will be familiar or easily researchable. -- User: Tryst  (talk to me!) 12:21, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Quotes by their very nature are taken out of context. It is the ones whose pith, poignancy, eloquence, or fame transcend context that are "quotable quotes". ~ Ningauble (talk) 19:14, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Indeed, I should have added something to that effect. -- User: Tryst  (talk to me!) 19:22, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
