I think that one reason this article is notable is that a google search for mental models gentner stevens turns up a large number of scholarly articles that list it as a reference. Also because the academic section of [[WP:NBOOK]] says that if a book is published by a respected academic press that should go a long way toward establishing notability, and it was, it was published by Erlbaum which has since been bought by Taylor and Francis. Also, in the theory of mental models, it is the next major work on mental models since 1943, when [[Kenneth Craik]] wrote The Nature of Explanation, the book credited with originating the theory. This is admittedly a specialized area and I realize this is a somewhat dry reference book, but I think a major strength of Wikipedia is helping to preserve information. For instance, a very good history of mental models on lauradove.info has disappeared from the Internet, and it was one very good source that mentioned this book's place in the history of mental models. I plan to try to find that article or an equivalent and to add more references and content to the article to help bolster my argument. Also, both editors and most of the authors of the individual articles in the book are themselves notable which should also add to the book's notability.
