Necronomicon Ex-Mortis

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Makes no assertion of its notability, offers no real-world perspective and is comprised of original research and plot descriptions that can already be found within the Evil Dead film articles. GroovySandwich 09:15, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, a quick look on google books found numerout third party sources to cite, from books, film and magazines. I added one for good measure, people should feel free to add more. They are there. Mathewignash (talk) 20:54, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Necronomicon: The fictional grimoire, a variant of Lovecraft's Necronomicon, does not meet the general notability guideline by itself and the article is a plot-only description of a fictional work. Most sources found with a search engine test associate it with the notable Necronomicon but do not give detailed coverage to Necronomicon Ex-Mortis. Most reliable sources which mention it are either tertiary sources or trivial mentions, but no secondary sources give analytic or evaluative claims to Necronomicon Ex-Mortis. In fact, the cited source in the article actually refers to the Lovercraft's Necronomicon, as can be seen by checking the cited page. As Necronomicon Ex-Mortis is easily confused with Necronomicon, I believe that a merge would work better than deletion, but, since the content is not referenced and it is full of original research by synthesis, a redirect is the best alternative.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Support redirect this is one use of Lovecraft's concept, but not enough can be said about it alone that cannot be said of all necronomicons (necronomica?) HominidMachinae (talk) 06:24, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect not enough coverage in reliable sources to WP:verify notability but willing to support redirect if it will result in a consensus. Shooterwalker (talk) 17:14, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
