Leo Leggins book series

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:NBOOK. Sifting through the first 200 sites of a google search (which mostly came up with sites on leggings:)), brings up nothing notable, a few bookseller sites but that is all. Coolabahapple (talk) 05:36, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

 * This source shows that the overseas title was "Joris Jofel", so I'll try to search under that name. The book also mildly gives off the impression that these might have been released overseas first? That might not change anything, but if it was released overseas first then that might mean that it was popular. I'll see what I can find. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  08:35, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
 * If this Amazon link is legit, then it looks like it was published in the Netherlands in 1974. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  08:44, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Yep, it was originally published overseas. It looks like it was originally a comic strip per this bio for the strip's authors. If not for stuff like this I'd never have connected the two names together, at least not per the artwork on the cover. The name is also backed up by titles like this one that mirror the English titles. However all of that said, I'm still not finding anything that would show notability.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Tokyo Girl - you seem to have found a copy of the Netherlands "Books in Print" that lists them. In Finnish the character is called "Riku Rivakka". However, I couldn't find an easy way to search Finnish libraries to see if they are a commonly held children's book. The British editions get very low hits in WorldCat (4, 5, 3, 3, respectively). The weird thing is that no author is listed anywhere -- in fact, Google Books lists the author as Harper Collins publisher. They are part of a larger Collins series . I can't find any sources that would lead to a keep on this page. LaMona (talk) 00:49, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
