 * Comment: I don't know... I'm finding a LOT to indicate that it's used in classrooms, such as these pages, the last of which shows that it was used for an entire school district. This link is to a Quia test, which is used in classrooms. (Other links:, , , , , , ) I'm still digging, as this was released in 1991 and as such, not all of the sources will be easily found.

 * Keep. It was tough finding sources for a book that was published back in 1991, but I've found enough to show that it was/is still pretty heavily used in classrooms. I found a few reviews as well. Also, while I know that WP:GHITS is not a valid argument for either keeping or deleting a page, I do have to say that most of my Ghits were mostly educational: either teaching tools for teachers or classrooms like this one and this one using it as part of their curriculum. It's a weak keep for the most part and if anyone wants to create a page for the series itself I'd argue that this could redirect to the main series page, but for right now it's a keep.

 * Comment. What a surprise. With the impressive improvements by, with sources showing extensive readership and classroom use, and reviews even, I am withdrawing my deletion nomination. Withdrawn.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 11:55, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
