Talk:Noumena (book series)

Needs More Fandom tag

The needs more fandom tag was added when I first made the page and the summary was over-extended, before I cut it down. The page has since had it's fandom sections, including various forms of fanart and references to the Transformers fandom, expanded upon. Can the needs more fandom tag be removed now, or are there any suggestions for expanding the page more? Axiom's end is quite a small fandom, and I'm not sure what else there is to add due to that.

Looks better, I'll remove the tag -- Kingstoken (talk) 15:04, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

New Book

Probably way too early to discuss this but figured it couldn't hurt to go ahead and pop something on the talk page anyhow. The second book, Truth of the Divine, came out just on Oct 19th, 2021. The book series does have an overarching name encompassing the two books' different names, called Noumena (so Noumena: Axiom's End, and Noumena: Truth of the Divine). However, as of right now no one really seems to call the two books by their actual encompassing name Noumena. Even on Archive of Our Own the section for this series is still just Axiom's End, not Noumena. But it may be a good idea to watch out for changes in this as the series continues, to see what fans will be calling the fandom. It's possible they may just stick to calling the whole thing Axiom's End though that's not the series' true name. The fandom is quite small so naming conventions aren't really well agreed upon like they would be for larger fandoms, and I'm unsure if the second book will see a bump in popularity or not. Just something to note and watch out for as the series grows. Patchlamb (talk) 17:33, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

That's sounds like a good plan! You could also create a redirect for the Noumena and Truth of the Divine and any other names that fandom comes up with for this series. Although the intro would need to be edited to make it clear the page is about a series rather than a singular book, but I don't think that needs to happen until you're ready to add redirect and/or rename the page. --Auntags (talk) 19:12, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Maybe it would be better to re-name the page after the series Noumena and then re-direct Axiom's End + Truth of the Divine to it, to make it more clear that the page is about the entire series rather than just the first book? Since I don't think the individual books would be worth separating into different pages- I did go ahead and just put some info for the 2nd book here. That way instead of re-directing Noumena to Axiom's End, Axiom's End re-directs here to Noumena. It could be noted in the article that the fandom usually refers to the series by the first book's name (at least they do for now- and I could watch out for any changes). Probably would make things simpler. Patchlamb (talk) 21:57, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
