Article seems to fail WP:GNG and WP:NBOOK. My WP:BEFORE search didn't turn anything up. OliveYouBean (talk) 05:42, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related page because it's another book in the same series and also seems to be non-notable:

Merge to List of Doctor Who books. I don't think that this in itself is notable, though Crisis in Space does appear in Reading Interests of Native Indian College Students: Implications for the Library, (but I can't see the extent). But as individual sections of articles don't need to adhere to notability standards, I think including the whole Make Your Own Adventure with Doctor Who should be mentioned at the target for completeness as an alternative to deletion.

That mention is not actually within the paper itself. There is an advertisement for the book at the bottom of the last page. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 13:03, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Lists of books based on Doctor Who: I could not find any reliable sources that discuss this topic in detail. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 13:01, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Lists of books based on Doctor Who as a WP:ATD. Fails WP:GNG or WP:NBOOK, single review cited is insufficient. The ref Daranios found is a trivial mention and I couldn't find more per my WP:BEFORE (though do ping me otherwise). VickKiang (talk) 23:50, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect - As suggested above. Crisis in Space is not a particularly notable Doctor Who book and has not received significant coverage since its publication so I do not think it merits its own article. However the "Make Your Own Adventure" series should probably be added as a section of Lists of books based on Doctor Who for the redirect to make sense.

- Additional Comment - I should add that I would also say the same about Search for the Doctor though there might be an argument that it is more significant as it was arguably the first Doctor Who novel not to be an adaptation of a television story. That said, that is a debatable point, and I think the extremely limited amount of coverage it has received renders its notability insufficient to justify an independent article on it.
