Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Failure of issue
per nom. I searched and there is nothing beyond the simple definition - "someone who dies without having children." I certainly did not find "entire books on the subject" - where are those books? I would guess the reason it has not been expanded in nine years is because it is an archaic term and there is not much to expand on. At best it could be mentioned in property law but I don't see the need for its own article.   would apply here
