Book does not meet book notability guidelines. AUTiger » talk 05:29, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep According to this site, the author has won three "prestigious" awards for her previous book, however as far as I can tell, this one has not. However, there are enough reliable-looking GHits on this that I think the article could be expanded to a stub that meets standards without too much effort. According to Amazon, it's mentioned in two other books that deal with bullying and peer pressure, so it has certainly been noticed by the community at large. It's close to halfway there already. Poke the author, maybe ask for help from a WikiProject, but don't delete it just yet. Hersfold (t/a/c) 05:57, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Original author is blocked. Regarding the author, one of the reasons I nominated was she doesn't even have an article here. I did see the Ghits, but didn't see any that seemed to rise above trivial reviews/mentions. AUTiger » talk 05:59, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep The book has been reviewed [1] and it was runner-up in an award for young adult books [2]. The author Gayle Friesen is notable enough for an article [3], so I'll create a stub article for her. Bláthnaid 13:10, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
