Doesn't appear to (yet) meet the notability guideline for books. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball (contested prod) – hysteria18 (talk) 19:11, 17 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Stephen King. This is one of those things that is highly likely to not only come out but will also be highly notable, but the fact is that there's just not enough information about this book at this time. The only information we have stems from the Neil Gaiman interview. No matter how many other articles we pull up and attach to the article, those articles are really only paraphrasing what Gaiman listed in his interview. Since it's likely to be a few years before it's released (I'm guestimating 2014) and all we really know about it is the title and very basic plot, it's just far too early to have an article for this book right now. It's likely to come out, but then it's also likely that King might also change the book partway through or drop the novel, which is something that many authors tend to do. Even if we look at the idea that everything King produces is notable (I'm of the mindset that it would be, as he's that influential), this book has yet to actually be finished and there's no depth of coverage for it. It's just far, far too soon and there's nothing in this article that couldn't be summed up in 1-2 sentences in King's article.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:13, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
KEEP When King announces books they're finished and expected to be published in the next year. This was true of Under The Dome, 11/22/63 and The Wind Through The Keyhole. There is little doubt this will be published. This is hardly crystal ball as this will be published in 2013. If you delete this page you may as well delete Dr. Sleep as well since it's also an upcoming book with a publication date of 2013.TurtleMelody (talk) 09:33, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Stephen King per Tokyogirl79. Not against recreation when a substantial amount of information becomes available. -- Jelly Soup (talk) 09:06, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect I think for now it would be better as a redirect, but when it comes out and is notable, maybe consider recreation User Talk:W.D. 08:58, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
