 * Delete Yeah, I agree. It is exceptionally obvious that there is only one source, and only barely won a small Amazon award, and those are really the only things that establish notability onto the article. Arsonxists (talk) 03:55, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment: If it'd won the award it would be decent towards establishing notability since the ABNAs did receive a moderate amount of coverage while they were running, but being one of the finalists or semifinalists wouldn't be able to establish notability. Especially as there were typically about 50 semifinalists in any given year, give or take a few dropping out or otherwise being disqualified. It's not nothing, but it's definitely not anything that Wikipedia would care about. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  04:07, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Slight tweak - in the beginning there were about 100 semifinalists, in the final year 25, per the Wikipedia article. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  04:09, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment It also piles up the fact that this is one of the only books that won that award to have a Wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arsonxists (talk • contribs) 04:23, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * It didn't win, it was just a semifinalist. In any case, the award itself has received coverage but the books typically don't outside of that. It's why I'd say that it would probably count towards notability but wouldn't be enough to establish notability on its own, assuming that we were talking about the person(s) who won for that year.

 * Delete. There's been some mild discussion about this in some academic sources, but not enough to pass NBOOK. It's enough to where it does warrant a mention at Robin Hood in popular culture at the very least. It's already mentioned there, so I suppose there could be a redirect if anyone thinks that we should keep the history intact.
