I find this page very lacking in content, and a very miniscule ammount of information can be added. I also think this page has very little informative value to the wiki. Delete? —ZENOX ^T C 17:07, 28 April 2011 (EDT)

Just because we don't have much info at the moment on the article doesn't mean we should delete it. :P We don't have that much info on Cagiva's ALttP manga yet it's still there. I'm against deleting this article. Dany36 17:58, 28 April 2011 (EDT)

Yep, I'm with Dany on this one. Usually pages that are good candidates for deletion are ones that are either irrelevant to Zelda or carry little Zelda relevance. This page is not only worthwhile, since it is concerning printed media some fans may actually own, but interesting as well as a piece of the Zelda extended universe a good many fans may not know about. — cipriano^talk 08:59, 29 April 2011 (EDT)

This is the only fan-fiction that has its own page. Being published is no reason to give it its own page, as it appears to be self-published. What separates this from someone else's fan fiction published online? Cagiva's ALttP manga was at least licensed by Nintendo and has its own page based on that. This is entirely unofficial.

Hmmm....I guess you're right about that. Well, if others think it should be deleted, then, yeah. :P Dany36 13:06, 15 December 2011 (EST)

I own the book itself, so if anyone thinks there's something that can be added, I can add it. I don't really know if we should put a brief summary, but if we do, I can provide refs and such. User:Darkness/sig 14:34, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

So, this page mentions that it is available on the Barnes and Noble website. I purchased it for free from the iBooks app, so I added that as a source for the book. The argument that that is advertising is invalid, because then we'd be advertising Barnes and Noble, too. The iBooks app is free, so both are entirely free. The only way to do this would be to list all sources of the book and not favor one over another. The web address for the book on iBooks is here.

Finally, the covers. I personally think that the current one that I uploaded looks like more work was put into it, but that's just my opinion. User:Darkness/sig 16:15, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

If the book has multiple covers, then we should probably include all of them on the page. One for the infobox and then the rest for a gallery. - Tony^{T S C} 23:09, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

I was thinking that it'd probably be best to keep the one I uploaded on the infobox and put the other in the gallery, but that's just my opinion. I'll try to find out which is the most recent.

I just found out that the iBooks version that I've been reading is copyrighted 2012; which is more than a year after the Barnes and Noble version. Based on the fact that the original intro that was here before varied from the one that replaced it, I'd guess that the versions have some differences. Does anyone know anything about this or own the Banes and Noble version? User:Darkness/sig 00:02, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Summary

So I started the summary forever ago. I only did a very small fraction of the book, and, rereading the original story, it isn't that great as far as fanfiction goes. I was wondering if I should remove the UC template and write a small "To read more, purchase it at (...).com" disclaimer to finish it (although messily) or anyone wants me to push through and complete it. My only problem with the "read more" option is it somewhat sounds like advertising; and, we also have the iBooks vs. Barnes&Nobles problem to deal with. So, any ideas? Thanks! User:Darkness/sig 01:43, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

I would just leave it as is and maybe replace Template:UC with Template:WIP. You don't need to force yourself to complete it. If you don't finish it, someone else is bound to take up the mantle eventually. That's the beauty of wikis.

No one expects every article to be complete; none of them are, really. — Hylian King ^[*] 13:31, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

I don't like the WIP template. It's supposed to mean that the article is CURRENTLY being worked on, as in at the immediate moment. I see it as being for super large edits. Everyone just leaves that template up forever, and then the article says "The finished article will be up shortly" for weeks at a time. That makes our readers tend to go "Uh... are these guys doing anything?"User:Justin ZW/sig 02:01, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

I was under the impression that UC was for articles currently being worked on, whereas WIP was for work that an editor doesn't intend to finish for an extended period of time, if ever. Basically, I thought the procedure would be to put up UC when you're working on an article, and then replace it with WIP if it turns out you can't follow through on it within a reasonable time frame (a month or two, let's say).

If that's not the case, then perhaps it should be. The term "Work In Progress" doesn't necessarily mean currently in progress, so perhaps the wording of that template should be changed. There's no point in having two templates that essentially mean the same thing. — Hylian King ^[*] 13:01, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

I don't really intend to finish it; at least I definitely won't until I'm finished with the OoS Manga page (when I have the time, I'll add the last chapter). The book has roughly 22 chapters and 223 pages (I say this because the font size is adjustable) so it's possible I'll add to the summary; but not soon. Second, would be adding large quotes (as I did in the references) be considered "stealing" from the book? I wasn't thinking about it when I added them earlier...
