Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kansas Notable Book Awards
I've only done a quick cursory search for third party coverage, but have already found a few |reliable sources. The Emporia Gazette calls it http://www.emporiagazette.com/opinion/article_c6cf1bae-dcb7-55fc-8779-038f2c46455d.html "the state’s top prize for writing". Multiple other examples of third-party coverage include from the http://cjonline.com/news/2011-07-13/ks-first-lady-announces-book-festival Topeka Capital-Journal, http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2012/sep/15/festival-honors-kansas-notable-books/ Lawrence-Journal World, http://www.kansas.com/entertainment/books/article1070339.html The Wichita Eagle, http://kansaspublicradio.org/kpr-news/kansas-book-festival-feature-ks-authors here Kansas Public Radio, http://www.wibw.com/home/headlines/Notable_Books_Announced_as_More_than_900_Attend_Book_Festival_130605383.html WIBW-TV, http://ksnt.com/2013/07/15/kan-first-lady-announces-kansas-book-festival-presenting-authors/ KSNT, http://www.quincypress.com/2011/09/25/2011-kansas-notable-book-awards/ Quincy Press, http://pvpost.com/2010/08/18/prairie-village-author-lands-on-kansas-notable-book-list-738 Prairie Village Post, http://www.lawrence.com/news/2011/sep/18/kansas-book-festival-showcases-homegrown-talent/ Lawrence.com. And, as you can see from some of these reports, the Kansas First Lady presents these awards every year, which strikes me as notable. I'm sure a harder look would reveal other sources out there as well. This article could use an update with the addition of reliable sources like those above and elsewhere, but |there is no deadline for such an update, and the fact that these improvements haven't been made yet isn't a reason to delete it
