Not notable per WP:BK. Is already mentioned on page of author, that seems sufficient enough mention. I have nominated the articles for the individual books as well, since they also seemed not to be notable. Perhaps a good solution could be keeping this page and incorporating the content (what little there is) from the individual book pages into this main article.

It looks like you've missed a few of David Sherman and Dan Cragg's novels -- were you intending to nominate all of them, or only the current list? "The Night Fighters" series was no big seller, but the Starfist series (a couple of which you've nominated as well) were rather more successful. You've not nominated all the Starfist novels -- was that an oversight? Perhaps putting an individual blurb about each book on the author's bio is the best course of action. I admit to being a fan of these authors and their books (even ran a fansite for them at (Starfist Headquarter), and created most of these articles, but I confess that they may very well be "non-notable". The Starfist series was allegedly being considered for a film, but this never bore fruit. A "teaser" trailer was even made! It's pretty cool: Starfist Teaser I'm not arguing for "notability" -- just wanted to mention it. Cyberherbalist (talk) 23:08, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to "bully" you for deleting all these articles you made, you've certainly worked hard on them and I commend you for that. However most of them seemed to lack significant coverage to make them notable (which is why we're here). Except for a few that did seem to be notable, I was on track to delete most of them. I may have missed some? Generally if a book has more than 2 "non-trivial" reviews from reliable sources they can be kept (If my reading of WP:BK is correct?). I support you putting a short blurb on the authors page, that'd be a good place to mention the trailer too! Captain Eek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!} 23:41, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/redirect to David Sherman#Vietnam War in lieu of deletion. I could not find significant coverage in reliable sources about the book series, which is required to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline and Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria.
