I found no significant coverage and the author doesn't have an article. SL93 (talk) 22:50, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, fails WP:NBOOK. If only there was a literary equivalent of WP:A9, then we could've got this over with much more quickly. — Quasar G. 16:17, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

'Delete' - this does not appear to be a very famous children's book, and if we are not careful, there could be attempts to get just about every children's book ever published in Wikipedia. The title character is not a famous character from children's literature. Vorbee (talk) 08:30, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Fails WP:NBOOK with no reviews or any other real notice. The synopsis is a word-for-word copy from Victory Baptist Press. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:19, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for drawing to our attention the similarity with the Victory Baptist Press Summary - the summary on this sight does say "Mumsi's village in Kenya" and the Wikipedia article deleted "in Kenya" but apart from that the similarity almost makes the overview section in Mumsi Meets a Lion a work of plagiarism. So thank you again for this observation. Vorbee (talk) 17:05, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I may have got things the wrong way around there - it is in the Wikipedia article where the phrase "in Kenya" appears. Vorbee (talk) 16:54, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, the author not having an article is not a reason for deletion, not meeting WP:GNG and WP:NBOOK is, also possible COPYVIO is a concern. Coolabahapple (talk) 00:19, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- That isn't my rationale for deleting it. I only mentioned it because it is a likely indicator of non-notability. SL93 (talk) 06:19, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
