Comment: They seem to sell fairly well and seem to be well-read. This book has been reviewed in at least one place, but... This whole collection is articles is an utter mess. I don't know if I dare go down the rabbit hole. Rather than this one article being deleted (neither here nor there, frankly- I could envision a decent article being written about this novel) I think we need someone to conscientiously hack away at the articles for a few hours.

Merge and redirect to House_of_Night#Hidden. I tried to see if I could find anything for this, but there doesn't seem to be much out there other than a few news stories about a former assistant of P.C. Cast suing the authors because she believed the authors were trying to get even with her via one of the book's characters. (The coverage for this is so slim that it doesn't warrant being added, as legal related matters need quite a bit of coverage to justify adding it.) The only other thing I saw was that it hit the Publishers Weekly bestseller list, but that by itself isn't really enough to justify it passing NBOOK. The only reviews I could find for this were self-published blogs or reviews on e-commerce sites. I think that merging some of the information and then redirecting it to the main series' article would be the best option here. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 21:27, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to House of Night, which is the name of the series. There's nothing to merge as the article is all plot w/o secondary sources. A redirect would be cleaner. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:08, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. Above rationales are sound. Nothing reliably sourced to merge. Next time, try redirecting/merging before taking it to AfD. czar 03:40, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
