I've prodded this with "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) supplementary essay. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar.". PROD was removed by an anon with no edit summary, despite my request for deprodding rationale. Note that the first book in the series has been proven notable in the recent AfD, while the second and third book have not (discussions are ongoing but leaning towards merge/redirects). No source that I am aware of provides WP:SIGCOV of the trilogy, the best I can think of is redirecting this either to the first book in the series or to Fiona McIntosh#Valisar. PS. Link to one of related AfDs which links to the other two: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/King's Wrath. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:51, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

- Delete I don’t find any coverage in RIS. Mccapra (talk) 06:41, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect to Fiona McIntosh#Valisar (with the history preserved under the redirect) per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion as was done for the two books in the trilogy that did not pass Wikipedia:Notability (books). See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/King's Wrath and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tyrant's Blood for those AfDs. Cunard (talk) 07:09, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
- Merge or redirect to WP:PRESERVE. Even without notability these are a verifiable part of the author's bibliography. Archrogue (talk) 14:04, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect per nom and WP:ATD to Fiona McIntosh#Valisar. There's no refs that indicate WP:GNG being met, I disagree with the merging rationale, as there are no RS at all suitable to merge (nor any indepedent refs, excepting the author's own website). VickKiang (talk) 00:20, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
