though a popular novel.. is it really notable enough for an article that consists of two sentances and a review as a reference? Alan -  talk  21:12, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep: popular = notable as a book. Have you tried fixing this before nomination? Rescue. Bearian (talk) 03:33, 18 March 2010 (UTC)


 * popular doesn't make it notable enough under wikipedia guidelines.. ahve you ever read  them?  Alan  -  talk  04:16, 18 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. The fact that an article is two sentences long is not a valid reason for deletion - stubs are allowed on Wikipedia last I checked. It meets the most relevant guideline, WP:NB, in that it has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial reviews.--Pawnkingthree (talk) 11:58, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Regardless if it's a stub, popular and notable are roughly the same things. So it's Keep. I might also want to note to you, Alan, that the person you replied to (Bearian), is actually an administrator, so I would think he's read the guidelines alot of times. But anyway, Keep since pouplar and notable are almost the same meanings. --Andromedabluesphere440 (talk) 14:08, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per don't demolish the house while it's still being built. Bearian has made a fine effort to give it its first source; it was a very popular book. Yoninah (talk) 23:53, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Actually, the source was already in the article when it was nominated. --RL0919 (talk) 13:58, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. I note that many articles about books by David Benedictus that were nominated recently had been prodded back in December. I did some basic research on them then. I only objected to the prods if I found evidence of multiple reliable sources. There seems to be a failure of WP:BEFORE on all these nominations. --RL0919 (talk) 13:58, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep The book referenced in the article isn't the only book Gogle Book search finds mentioning it. A Google news search shows there are other books by this title.  I did a book search for "The Rabbi's Wife" AND "Benedictus", that getting some relevant results.  Jewish quarterly, Volumes 26-28 By Jewish Literary Trust (London, England), mentions the book, among others.   D r e a m Focus  21:19, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
