As yet to be published (?) book. None of the references given mention the book (all are about an organization, Homegrown Kentucky). The external link is an excerpt from the book. The "Cosmopolitan Journal" seems to be a blog. No indication of notability, does not meet WP:NBOOKS. Hence:  Delete. Guillaume2303 (talk) 09:44, 2 August 2012 (UTC)


 * It seems as though it would be best to create an article about the organization, "Homegrown Kentucky", and to place the information about the book within its context. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Holmesonholmneson (talk • contribs) 21:32, 2 August 2012 (UTC)  — Holmesonholmneson (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * What information about the book? It doesn't exist yet, as far as I can see, and we don't even know its publishers. And I doubt that the current sources show notability for the organization, either. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 21:36, 2 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I can't speak to the credibility of the book in question, but based on cursory searches, it seems as though the Homegrown Kentucky organization is fairly notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Linenman (talk • contribs) 05:29, 3 August 2012 (UTC)  — Linenman (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * I can see that. Perhaps beginning an article for the organization now would facilitate the transition process. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gabbynew (talk • contribs) 01:20, 4 August 2012 (UTC)  — Gabbynew (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Unless you have better sources than currently are in the article, I strongly counsel against that approach, because it will only mean that we'll have to have yet another AfD... --Guillaume2303 (talk) 10:27, 4 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - I can find no coverage whatsoever in reliable sources. -- Whpq (talk) 16:11, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. None of the references mention any book. Kilopi (talk) 01:44, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. As far as an article about the organization goes... it's debatable. Creating an article for the organization was one of my first thoughts, but most of the coverage has only been within the last few months. There's no depth of coverage here at this point in time and while the award they received isn't nothing, it's not entirely something that would necessarily be considered so notable of an award that it would automatically merit the organization having an article to itself. HK would have to pass WP:ORG, which is actually harder to pass than WP:NBOOK. I'm not entirely sure that an article about HK would survive for very long on Wikipedia. If any of the new users are interested in creating an article about this, I recommend doing so in their user space and cultivating it until it gets more notice. (If you make it in your userspace then it won't be easily deleted through AfDs.) In the meantime you might want to get the assistance of a person from WikiProject Organizations or WikiProject Kentucky to help you guys out as far as verifying sources and determining when the article meets notability guidelines. One warning though- if any of you are involved with the organization, the college that it goes through, or have any other relationship with HK, make sure that you read through WP:COI. Having a conflict of interest might make it harder for you to be non-partial, which is why I recommend getting an outside party from one of the WikiProjects to help you out.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 19:17, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
