Fails Wikipedia:NBOOK#Criteria. SnottyWong chatter 20:09, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Clicking on any of the handy find sources links above shows significant coverage. Unomi (talk) 06:35, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Clearly notable. Multiple reviews are cited in the article; plenty of significant coverage. Johnfos (talk) 06:57, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Do any of the sources verify that the book meets one of the criteria listed at Wikipedia:NBOOK#Criteria, or are these sources mainly advertisements for the book? While it's plain to see that there are a lot of hits on Google for that search term, that doesn't imply notability. Clicking on the "handy find sources link" above results in plenty of links to the book's website, places to buy the book, regurgitated press releases of the book, etc. Also, the Clarion award is clearly not a major literary award.

- Article clearly meets notability criteria 1: "The book has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself, with at least some of these works serving a general audience". Sources of these multiple published works include: Journal of Environmental Health Research, The Guardian, and The Times, which are cited in the article. -- Johnfos (talk) 16:43, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
