Book the Thirteenth (A Series of Unfortunate Events)

I'm a big fan of Lemony Snicket but the Thirteenth book? We haven't even got the Twelfth yet! We have no idea of what it willbe about, the title, nothing. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. --Celestianpower ^hab 21:35, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Agreed. Wait till the book has been announced or details become available before doing an article on it. 23skidoo 22:26, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
• Abstain as I created the entry. My reasoning was that Book the Twelfth is imminent, and as soon as this has been published, there will be clues about the plot of the thirteenth book. Just as the Book the Twelfth page has been used for plot clues gathered prior to publication, I thought this would be a useful place for the Book the Thirteenth clues to be gathered in a similar way.

  I think we should recreate it when Book the Twelfth is out. --Celestianpower ^hab 07:36, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

• Abstaini think you should not delete the page. The Book the Twelfth is coming out in only 3 weeks and then this page will get longer. 18:30, 24 September 2005
• Do not delete - if we can have pages for movies that aren't coming out for three years, we can have a page dedicated to one book from an immensely popular series. Information on Book the Thirteenth will start becoming available next month (wuth the release of Book the Twelfth) at any rate -- MattManic7325, September 25th 2005

  But if we know nothing about a subject, how does it deserve an article? --Celestianpower ^hab 14:14, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

• Abstain As already mentioned, in a few weeks the page can be filled with suggestions as Book the Twelfth will be released. We have Harry Potter: Book Seven which is estimated to be released between 2007 - 2009, and this book will probably be out next year. Squidward2602 16:09, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep HP:Book Seven was listed when book six wasn't even out. ♥purplefeltangel ^(talk) ♥ ^(contribs) 22:27, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, it's not hurting anyone, stop misquoting WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_a_crystal_ball ··gracefool |☺ 17:11, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment - just to reassure folks that although as stated above I created the original article, it's not me operating as a sock puppet who has been removing the AfD tag from the article. Dunno why, but for some reason The Nameless Novel and Book the Twelfth (A Series of Unfortunate Events) get heavily vandalised - looks like the same could well happen here if the article is kept...

• Keep i just wanted to say i agree with everyone this site should say- for the vandalisim, there will be enough people to fix it- i recently got on The Nameless Novel and the whole Mystery the Third was gone so i fixed that... then i created my account! Magcidooser 00:04, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball does not apply here, since the event is notable and about 99% certain to take place. Second of all, there really aren't all that much of these "hypothetical" books in the A Series of Unfortunate Events-ring. Just the 12th and 13th, of which one is going to be released really soon. The article is not a two-liner either, it really provides some content. -- SoothingR 11:55, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
