I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant English-language coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar." It was deprodded with no helpful rationale (despite the fact that I explicitly asked for one in the PROD). Yet another example that PRODs are vulnerable to abuse. Let's discuss then - can anyone find anything to salvage this? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:02, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
Discussion of sources by YorkshireLad

Of the sources in the article, I can't find any way to view the inside of the book; the webpage fails the "reliable" part of WP:GNG, being someone's personal site. Of the sources that Andrew Davidson lists above:
So for sources that count towards WP:GNG, we have at best one so far, the book that's mentioned in the article already. That is a biography of the Rev. W. Awdry, who wrote the books, so I find it hard to believe that it contains more than a passing mention either. (My suspicion, based on what it's used for, is that a copy of a map is included in the book, and that's the extent of the mentions of Terence.) Even if more, however, we've only got one source, so that's a failure of WP:GNG. I've looked on Google Books myself, and all I can find are either episode listings or lists of characters, which suggests Terence is fairly WP:MILL. YorkshireLad ✿ (talk) 14:09, 8 August 2020 (UTC) |
