A very long article sourced entirely from the content of the books it references. In many cases the wiki-links in the article are themselves recursive. This is WP:OR at its best or worst. There are already articles about the individual books and the author and this is just a (very extended) synthesis derived from the content of those books.

  • Weak support: It is certainly discouraging that the article's been tagged since 2010 and very little seems to have changed to satisfy concerns about the subject as being notable in its own right. I'm forced to agree with the nominator that it presently appears better suited to a wikia than to its own article here. DonIago ( talk) 14:50, 28 March 2018 (UTC) reply
