The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete. While the strongest argument to keep is Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria, the subject of the article fails the caveat to this criteria. the_undertow ^talk 06:33, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

• Comment Version at time of AFD-nomination→permalink --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:50, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: According to the publisher's website, these are the only books they've published, and the first came out four years ago, which strongly suggests these are actually self-published. Googling, I can find only a couple mentions on reading lists and no actual reviews and no awards. Does not meet the notability requirements of WP:BK. —Quasirandom 00:34, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. No proof of notability, no references. As always, if notability can be established and reliable sources provided, it can always be re-created with them. --AliceJMarkham 10:40, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. Not a lot of independent coverage, but there are at least two references in the first 20 ghits to classroom use, and a later one here. Reviewed here by the Midwest Book Review. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SarekOfVulcan (talk • contribs)
• Weak Keep I can sympathize with SarekOfVulcan's desire to keep the article. I believe that Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria is satisfied in regard to basic criterion 4, which begins "The book is the subject of instruction at multiple grade schools...". The sources provided by SarekOfVulcan support satisfaction of this criterion. I will add the links provided to the article momentarily. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:27, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
