Prep
non-notable single novel; too many quotes; alphabetical order with no indication of chapter or page numbers or edition — Markjoseph125 (talk) 00:09, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep, but source the quotes to chapters or sections (and perhaps trim them a bit as suggested in the nom). I do believe the book and its author are notable enough. ~ UDScott (talk) 16:07, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep, I fully agree this article needs a clean-up, but this book does seem notable. It was the author's first novel (she wrote (at least) two more) and the book did get some notable book reviews. -- Mdd (talk) 16:30, 25 February 2013 (UTC) p.s. I added a clean-up tag, and started adding some page numbers.
 * I have been bold and cleaned up the article by adding some sources; moving the rest of the unsourced quotes to the talkpage; and added some quotes and sources about this book. -- Mdd (talk) 22:11, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Also a preliminary test on the Limits on quotations on this book of 512 pages with approximately 200 words a page: The nominated version had 3870 words (about 4%) and the current version 970 words (about 1%), while the limit is set on 1.25% of the total content of a book. I guess this makes the current version with 15 quotes about the right size. I guess we should consider removing the remaining text from the talk page. -- Mdd (talk) 22:28, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The quote from page 239 is close to our rule of thumb for the maximum length for quotes, being almost as long as the entire Gettysburg Address. BD2412 T 03:25, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I have now trimmed it down to under 250 words, and trimmed the number of quotes on the talk page. -- Mdd (talk) 11:24, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Nice work Mdd! Thanks. ~ UDScott (talk) 14:25, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Probably notable, and now nicely cleaned up.--Abramsky (talk) 13:25, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Probably notable, and now nicely cleaned up. It's amazing how well the Wiki community works together. Maybe we should run things instead of the politicians... Markjoseph125 (talk) 17:24, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
