 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PROD contested by an IP, no reason given. There is no evidence of notability, fails WP:GNG and WP:NBOOK. GiantSnowman 11:59, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep or redirect and merge to Yehuda Nir and re-arrange accordingly. Notable:, , , , . The book was translated even to my native language, under the title Zmařené dětství. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 15:09, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Creating an article on the author, and then rediretcing/merging seems like a sensible suggestion. GiantSnowman 08:44, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep This book was turned into an Opera (although that is not on the page) so it is notable.  The Opera has been performed several times and in different venues and countries. I have also found the New York Times review of it  if that helps anyone out in writing it.  The article does need a lot of work and I would probably remove the About the Author section and give him his own article.Sunnydoo (talk) 12:29, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * A book getting reviewed and/or being turned into an Opera does not confer notability. GiantSnowman 08:44, 23 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep and create Yehuda Nir, who has a New York Times obit. I'm going to have to assume that the nominator didn't read the newspapers in the past few days. Bearian (talk) 21:24, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * So the author is notable - that does not mean that the book is. WP:NOTINHERITED. GiantSnowman 08:44, 23 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep Meets the 1st criteria of the Notability (books) notability guideline through the multiple reviews identified by Vejvančický above. Davewild (talk) 13:16, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep. Notability clearly established by the sources cited by Vejvančický. Article needs to be clearer that this was first an adult book published in 1989, then reissued in a young readers' version by Scholastic in 2002 . --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:40, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
