Delete: This article is about a novel that is not notable. The article is almost entirely a summery of the novel. -- Kndimov (talk) 02:14, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: I don't know... I see where the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center has a record of it and where it looks to be a part of at least one college course. So far I think it would probably pass WP:NBOOK as something that is taught in classrooms. I do remember this being a frequent school purchase back when I was working in a bookstore, but I'll try to find the sources here to prove it. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   03:30, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. I found multiple reviews after some digging, and these along with the Smithsonian APAC note (they don't list each and every book out there, mind you) and the usage in classrooms shows that it passes NBOOK. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   03:48, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Withdrawing request to delete the article: Significant progress has been made to this page. Here is the old revision. More sources have been added, an info box was added, a reception section and an awards section has been added. Furthermore, notability seems to have been proven. -- Kndimov (talk) 20:55, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
