I don't often advocate the wholesale deleting of articles, but there is no merit to this article. There's no assertion of notability. No references. All there is is a plot summary of a picture book.
I am also nominating the following related pages because of the above reasons (which apply identically):

- The Berenstain Bears' New Neighbors won a Children's Choice Award (from the International Reading Association & Children's Book Council) in 1995 [1]. There are others, I'm sure, but I'm having trouble finding specifics (most sources just list the Berenstains as receiving "multiple" awards). I'm sure at least some of them qualify under notability guidelines for books. Powers T 13:47, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and redirect to a list article if one doesn't already exist. The franchise is notable and a list of the books in the franchise, including a one- or two-sentence plot summary, is appropriate. Should individual books prove notable then they can be spun off into individual articles. Otto4711 (talk) 14:45, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and redirect per Otto. We should have at least a list of the titles. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:29, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and redirect per Otto. A list is a good idea, perhaps with a one/two sentence summary of each book. No prejudice against stand-alone articles of the books if secondary sourcing can be provided about their impact. However, I imagine that whatever coverage exists will likely address the series as a whole in terms of circulation and popularity. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 21:11, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and redirect to List of Berenstain Bears books, using the content from Berenstain_Bears#List_of_books as the nucleus of the list. --NickPenguin(contribs) 23:56, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge as per Otto. Notable book series, but we don't need separate articles for each book. Edward321 (talk) 04:31, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete all. After removing the WP:NOT#PLOT summary, there is nothing to merge. The main article for the series already acknowledges the existence of these books. Doctorfluffy (talk) 05:10, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
