Deletion of The Bar Code Tattoo

Comment: This was a pretty hard decision to make. Despite being named one of the ALA's best picks for 2005, there really isn't a lot of coverage for this book in any reliable sources. The book was nominated for two awards in 2007, but it didn't win either of them and the only places that mention this are primary sources and articles that have copied off of Wikipedia. In other words, there's no mention of this nomination in any reliable sources and merely being nominated for an award doesn't give notability. It might mean that it's more likely to find sources, but that isn't exactly a guarantee that they'll be out there. As far as reviews go, I found two from places that could be considered reliable, although the Teen Ink one sort of pushes it since it's hard to verify which exact reviews from that site are considered reliable. Over time the more I've looked at that site, the less reliable it seems. I tried to see if this book was discussed in schools, but I can't see where it's so universally used/discussed/listed as a school read to where I'd be able to say that it'd qualify under #4 of . As far as the second book goes, I couldn't really find any coverage at all. This is just a case of two books that have a fan following but hasn't really made that huge of an impact as far as YA books go. There aren't any reliable sources for these books. The ALA "best pick" isn't really anything to sneeze at, but it's not such an overwhelming award that I could say without a doubt that it'd be considered a major literary award. It feels like there should be more coverage, but there just isn't. I have absolutely no problems with anyone wanting to take a copy of these articles in their userspace and working on them until/if there are more RS that come up to show that these books are notable, but these just aren't notable right now and a redirect to the author's page would be best for right now
