I Got a "D" in Salami[edit]

Also nominating the following articles for the same reason. Prods were contested because "author is famous" per WP:NBOOKS #5 though I dont think these books meet "historically significant", especially since the author is "the Fonz" and these are children's books.

Keep This book seems to me to be notable. It is recommended reading for teaching learning disabilities in the classroom here, it was also used [1] as a teaching resource for reading cognition, is mentioned as a high-interest resource in this book on teaching kids with trouble reading and it was mentioned in the article Fictional Characters with Dyslexia: What Are We Seeing in Books? and in the book Children's Book Corner: A Read-Aloud Resource with Tips, Techniques, and Plans for Teachers, Librarians, and Parents : Level Grades 3 and 4 but I can't access those because of paywalls. The same for the articles available on a Google News Archive search. Meets WP:NBOOKS #4. - ManicSpider (talk) 11:27, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Two book reviews in reputable sources exist:

Fernandez, Elizabeth. "I got a D in salami". School Library Journal, Oct2003, Vol. 49 Issue 10, p142

NIAGARA FALLS, OR DOES IT?; I GOT A "D" IN SALAMI (Book). Publishers Weekly, 6/2/2003, Vol. 250 Issue 22, p52

In addition, WorldCat shows 593 libraries own copies of this book. That alone doesn't establish notability, but still should factor into the equation. The article does need work, but the subject (the book itself) is notable enough. If closed with KEEP I will add book reviews as sources (unless someone else does). --Quartermaster (talk) 14:05, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment how about the other books nominated above.--RadioFan (talk) 14:39, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep at least the "blanket" Hank Z. one as its about the whole series; neutral to weak merge on the rest Purple backpack89 03:40, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Hank Zipzer (the books have sold 3 million copies in the US [2] and appear in multiple non-trivial sources[3][4][5][6]) and Niagara Falls, or Does It? ([7][8][2 reviews listed] + it is the first book in a notable series). Merge the rest, none of those are notable enough for their own article.
