The Berenstain Bears and Too Much TV

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The description is 100% fake. The book clearly states Mama Bear banned TV for a week in the house because Brother, Sister and Papa were watching too much TV. Anyone agree? --Funny Gardaland (talk) 14:33, 13 March 2016 (UTC) (P.S.: I think the guy who wrote this description watched too much GoAnimate...)

 * Delete, does not not meet WP:NBOOK or WP:GNG. a gsearch brings up no reviews or anything which might warrent a separate article beyond what is here Coolabahapple (talk) 06:09, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: The book does exist (I read my copy to tatters) and was made into an episode of the TV show, but the overall notability is still in question. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  09:52, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List_of_Berenstain_Bears_books. The book is mentioned here and there as an example of the BB series or as an example of a book that dealt with excessive TV watching, but it's never in any true depth enough to show independent notability.

 * Comment/Question, i considered redirect for this title, but how is this title any more notable for a redirect compared to the others or should we then consider creating redirects for the other 100 or so titles in the list (or the 300 titles metioned in the lead of Berenstain Bears)?

 * I wouldn't suggest a redirect for all of the books, but what pushed it for me as a redirect was that someone had created an entry and that the book does get frequent mention in the press as an example of books that deal with this topic. None of those mentions are heavy enough to really show independent notability, but it does suggest that it's possible that it could be a search term. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  09:57, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Basically, redirects for this series should only be judged on a case by case basis - if they're mentioned frequently in places other than a notification of a release, like as an example of something, and they've been made into a TV episode (or similar media) then they'd warrant a redirect. One or the other alone might not be enough, but together it'd be likely. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  10:00, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
