Notability

Latest comment: 1 year ago3 comments2 people in discussion

I will be working on estabilishing notability for Honorverse works in the near future (and some other mil sci stuff). Starting here. Found only one review (Locus, per ISFDb - added). Anything else we can add here to have this meet NBOOK? There are capsule reviews from Kirkus and (a bit longer) from Publishers Weekly, I guess (haven't added those yet; Kirkus is so short it's hard to treat it seriously, maybe PW's can count as the second source?). That makes it pretty borderline... @Cunard, @Daranios _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:36, 25 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi Piotrus (talk · contribs). In addition to the Locus, Kirkus Review, and Publishers Weekly sources you found, I was able to find only two very short sources about the book:

Barron, Neil; Barton, Tom; Burt, Daniel S.; Hudak, Melissa; Meredith, D. R.; Ramsdell, Kristin; Schantz, Tom; Schantz, Enid (2002). What Do I Read Next?, 2000: A Reader's Guide to Current Genre Fiction, Volume 2. Farmington Hills, Michigan: Gale. p. 842. ISBN 0-7876-3392-5. ISSN 1052-2212. Retrieved 2023-05-27 – via Internet Archive.
The book notes: "Summary: Four long stories chronicle part of the career of Honor Harrington, an interstellar military officer, featured in number of the editor's novels. Three of the stories are by Weber himself, the fourth is by Eric Flint. All are original in this collection."
Cassada, Jackie (2001-03-15). "Changer of Worlds". Library Journal. Vol. 126, no. 5. p. 111. Archived from the original on 2023-05-27. Retrieved 2023-05-27 – via Gale.
The review notes: "Together with two more tales by Weber and one by Flint, the four tales that comprise this third collection of stories set in a far future of galactic empires and interplanetary politics expand on the background for the Honor Harrington series."

I think that the best sources are Locus and Publishers Weekly which should be sufficient to allow the book to pass Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria.

I also found https://www.davidweber.net/bookReviews where David Weber lists full-text reviews for many of the books he has written. For Changer of the Worlds, it includes only the Publishers Weekly article.

Thanks. Those are very capsule-ish, so I think this is borderline, notability-wise. But we have enough to let it stew for a while longer... moving on. I've added the reviews to the article. Thanks! _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:37, 27 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
