Waiting for Normal

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Completely unreferenced article about a YA novel, consisting exclusively of a plot summary and making no actual claim of notability per WP:NBOOK. As always, every book is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because it exists -- it needs to have an actual notability claim, and reliable source coverage about it. Bearcat (talk) 15:58, 29 August 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. The book has received a number of awards according to the Amazon page: "School Library Journal Best Book * ALA Notable Children’s Book * New York Public Library’s “One Hundred Titles for Reading and Sharing” * Chicago Public Library Best of the Best * Cooperative Children’s Book Center Choice * Connecticut Book Award Winner * American Library Association Schneider Family Book Award Winner". I think the ALA awards ensure that this meets our notability guidelines for books.  Malinaccier  ( talk ) 19:36, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
