Big Nate Goes for Broke

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

After several source searches, including searches for reviews, does not appear to meet WP:BKCRIT or WP:GNG. I found this page from USA Today, but it consists almost exclusively of content copied from Goodreads user reviews. This short article from the Daily Record states that it is a review, but the content there mostly provides a very basic plot summary without any critical commentary.

 * Keep. While the sourcing isn't as strong as I'd like it to be, it is enough for this to barely squeak by notability guidelines right now. I will acknowledge that the review from the Daily Record is insanely short, but it does technically count as a review- there's been no true consensus on review length to date, so summary-heavy reviews like this one are still usable. It did reach the NYT bestseller list and while that's not currently something that counts towards notability per WP:NBOOK, there are moves to get that changed to where this can be considered something that would help show notability. (Bringing this up partially in hopes of getting a wider consensus there.) However, I also wouldn't object to it redirecting to the main series page either.

 * Keep, article meets WP:GNG with the references added by Tokyogirl79. Also, the Daily Record review cited by the nominator; although short might be useful to inform the article reader about the book - "This is written in the same style as one of my favourite books, Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney. It’s not quite as good, but it’s close!" Coolabahapple (talk) 15:13, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep This is an article in progress. There is activity on it and enough sourcing.  HullIntegrity  \ talk / 11:20, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
