The Kingdom Keepers

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This series likely fails to meet WP:NOTABILITY and WP:NBOOK. The few reviews I can find are either very brief or self-published (e.g. blogs). --Animalparty-- (talk) 01:57, 31 March 2014 (UTC) I no longer support delete (see below) --Animalparty-- (talk) 19:17, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment Like the nom stated there are a lot of reviews (on the individual books in the series), but no major criticisms or commentaries on the series as a whole. The books are already thoroughly mentioned on the author's page (Ridley Pearson) and covered extensively on The DisneyWiki. I believe the first book did win a Florida state award in 2005, but no major literary awards. In the series' favor, I did find this NY Times article which discusses a new Disney approach to interactive media and briefly discusses how the series plays into that approach; it made the NY Times bestseller list (not sure this helps); and this mention in the Washington Post. Resources seem kind of thin for inclusion. EBstrunk18 (talk) 19:50, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've done a re-write of the whole page, essentially, and I've found enough coverage to warrant a keep. I would recommend putting the character section on its own page at List of The Kingdom Keepers characters, as it's an extremely long section and there's precedent for similar lists at places such as List of American Horror Story characters.

 * Definite keep Nice work Tokyogirl79! EBstrunk18 (talk) 16:10, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a detailed, referenced article about a young adult book series like Harry Potter. Sure, there is room for improvement but every article on WP could be improved and it's clear this one is being worked on and developed. I don't see any good reason why this article should be deleted.

 * Keep: as the original nominator for deletion, I've been convinced of the notability of the series. The merge of individual books to the main article seems prudent, and I also support a separation of characters into List of The Kingdom Keepers characters, to keep the article more centered in the real-world.--Animalparty-- (talk) 19:14, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm going to go ahead and branch that out to another page. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   07:10, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
