Comment "The It girl" is such a common phrase, finding hits is hard, even when adding "Ziegesar" to the search string, I'm mostly getting Listicles and Gossip Girl tie-in coverage. Jclemens (talk) 02:26, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
keep citations added.--Pallet182 (talk) 19:21, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sources merely confirm it is a book. Wowee. Does not address satisfy WP:BKCRIT for 2+ examples coverage. Why does it matter? JJLiu112 (talk) 05:29, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@JJLiu112 The New York Magazine added to the article already is reliable and it's an in-depth coverage of the entire series so we are halfway there. Here's a master thesis about the series. Here's an academic article. It's a keep. However, I think some of the articles about individual books in the series can be boldly redirected here, consider for example unreferneced plot summary at Devious (novel). That would be a productive cleanup. PS. I checked and all books in the series are just a plot summary, with only first one having an extra note about the cover. I recommend boldly redirecting all books in that series to the article about said series (note I prodded one for now). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:02, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per my comment above, sources exist to show this meets GNG/NBOOK, article has been somewhat improved (more sources I found should be added, as well as reception section). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:03, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and expand based on sources found. There is significant coverage if you count the whole series. Archrogue (talk) 20:39, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The sources mentioned by Piotr support that WP:NBOOK is met. MrsSnoozyTurtle 07:49, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as most of the added sources support WP:NBOOK although I've added a self-published tag to the Goodreads ref as per WP:GOODREADS. Suonii180 (talk) 11:34, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
