 * Comment The article title is not much use for finding sources - I suggest instead. Using this, there are plenty of Google hits. The play (not book) was the first major success for its author, Marcel Dubé, and still seems to be performed regularly - the problem looks like being filtering out the one-sentence title checks in short biographies of the author and the one-line notices of yet another performance, and then seeing what's left. I think it quite likely to be enough for notability for an article separate from that for its author, but can't be certain. PWilkinson (talk) 13:00, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Move to Zone (play) Is this really about a book, though? I mean, I know that's what it says in the title, but the lede reads: Zone is a French-language three-act play written by French-Canadian author Marcel Dubé.  I am not sure they are different things.  According to this article, the play won "top awards" at the Dominion Drama festival in Canada during the 1950s, so I think that qualifies for notability.

 * Move to Zone (play) per PWilkinson and I Jethrobot. Here is another mention of the award, and it is also mentioned here as shown by the Google snippet. Some more coverage    — frankie (talk) 16:22, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

this is useful, please don't delete this page, it helps those who are reading the play in french. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.246.68.150 (talk) 04:21, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
