The result was speedy keep. The article can definitely stand to be expanded, but the one source added, although small, proves notability. Non-admin closure. Erpert (let's talk about it) 07:45, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article has only a few bits of info and hasn't been edited for over a year Mysteryman19 (talk) 01:07, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Notable, won a Pulitzer Prize. Not being edited in over a year isn't grounds for deletion. Dayewalker (talk) 01:46, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. It has won a major literary award, satisfying WP:Notability (books). Clarityfiend (talk) 03:24, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - I don't see a reference to a Pullitzer Prize, which seems interesting since the first year it was awarded was apparently 1917, same year the book was published... but even with that discrepancy, looks like a lot of books published by this guy that got indexed. It's definitely a stub, and should be expanded, but I don't see any issue with a book of a U.S. Senator (William Cabell Bruce) having a stub article. Shadowjams (talk) 05:56, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: the award is listed here. Dewritech (talk) 10:34, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy keep now that the Pulitzer Prize (already mentioned in the text) has been sourced. WP:BEFORE would have been the way to go here.--Arxiloxos (talk) 16:20, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy keep, Pulitzer Prize winner. Nsk92 (talk) 17:50, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
