The result was keep‎. Consensus seems that the award is significant enough to justify meeting WP:NBOOK. (non-admin closure) NotAGenious (talk) 12:11, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Caldecott Medal makes it meet WP:NBOOK. One wonders if any WP:BEFORE was attempted.LadyofShalott 13:34, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Per the article lead, "The illustrations in the book earned Rohmann the Caldecott Medal in 2003." Therefore it passes WP:NBOOK point 2 (winning a major literary award). CohenTheBohemian (talk) 14:18, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The award makes it notable (but it's not one I'm familiar with, so I could understand perhaps why the nom was made.). This in Common Sense Media [1] also helps notability. Oaktree b (talk) 16:26, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Won a major children's literature award and had a TV series inspired by it. A miserable WP:BEFORE failure. Nate • (chatter) 23:07, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I'm going to assume that ltbdl is unfamiliar with the Caldecott Medal. Essentially this is the children's literature equivalent of winning the Academy Award for Best Film. It's THE award as far as American children's literature goes. It's granted by the American Library Association, which is one of the biggest authorities on library science in the United States. They also of course cover literature and are influential in that sphere as well. There's really not a bigger or more influential award that a kid's book could really win as far as US specific awards go.

Keep: If it won a major award and has a televison show based off of it, it's most likely notable enough. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheOmniDex (talk • contribs) 02:35, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
