Whitechapel Gods

[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Exists, but lacks substantial RS coverage. Zero refs. Tagged for notability and absence of refs for over 2 years. Epeefleche (talk) 06:31, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep There are some refs online, if such sources as "Steampunk Magazine" support notability when they say "one of the most representative works of twenty-first century steampunk currently in print. No other book is as successful as capturing the secondary world of grit, grime, and gilding that the subculture, art, and fashion have suggested." A later book by the author quotes several reviews of"Whitechapel gods:" [1]. Was it ever a best seller within the sci-fi genre? Or the "steampunk" subgenre?

Hi Ed. Thanks for your thoughtful post. Do you think that -- given the above -- we have multiple substantial independent RS coverage of it? I'm not sure I see it in what we can verify. Tx.--Epeefleche (talk) 18:11, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
