The Sign of the Seahorse

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article is one paragraph long and has no references. The author of the book, Graeme Base, has a Wikipedia page with a bibliography where this book is listed. Several of his books do link to their own articles and I think those are fine. But this one, "The Sign of the Seahorse," doesn't have enough information to justify a separate article.

 * Comment: I'm doing a search but I am finding some coverage here and there, specifically in relation to this book being used as an educational tool. It's enough to where I think that it could squeak by notability guidelines. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  08:22, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. It took me a while, but I think I found just enough for this to scrape by. It could probably be expanded to go into more depth about the book's use in education, if anyone is interested in doing that. It looks like it's used in some speech therapy, although most of what I found for that were blog sources. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  08:45, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. easily meets WP:GNG and WP:NBOOK, article now shows this, thanks to Tokyogirl79. To make it even notabler/more notable(?), I have also added a couple of reviews (yes i know they are kirkus and pw but they are ok to use for notabilty:) and a mention of it being part of academic research. Also, a plea to nominators of afds, pleeeeeezzzz remember WP:CONTN ie. Article content does not determine notability, and WP:BEFORE - D. Search for additional sources, if the main concern is notability.  Coolabahapple (talk) 16:19, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Well... in all fairness, these were a little harder to find than some of the other books out there. It wasn't impossible, but it was sparse going at first. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  10:34, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
