English refs[edit]

I think this page is in desperate need for some English based citations. Also, there is no note for who translated the Norwegian. Ottava Rima (talk) 21:44, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The book has just been released, so there probably aren't any English citations out there yet. The book has not been translated into other languages, i.e. it's in Norwegian only. As for the quote that has been translated I did that. __meco (talk) 08:34, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't that concern anyone else in terms of notability? Ottava Rima (talk) 16:51, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand. __meco (talk) 17:15, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability guidelines from books require it to be of importance, have critical acclaim, etc. If this is a new book, with few sources, especially few in English, it fails to meet notability requirements. This should be fixed before someone puts it up for deletion review. Ottava Rima (talk) 17:56, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just to correct you on terminology deletion review is the process of challenging the outcome of a past deletion debate. As for somebody nominating this for deletion (AfD) I don't think that would threaten this article. There are multiple reliable sources commenting on this book. What I haven't included yet is that the book appears to be an integral part of a governmental LGB outreach/information effort. I may leave that to others to follow up on. Also, I suspect the book may garner some international attention for the statements linking it to elementary school teaching. We'll have to watch out for any such commentary. __meco (talk) 08:34, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for using a technical term when I was clearly talking about it being reviewed for deletion, which is the same as saying deletion review. There are no real reliable sources for this page, let alone any proof of notability. This should be fixed. Ottava Rima (talk) 16:19, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Exhibit[edit]

Article: "an exhibition of the book's photographic material will be on display outside the Museum of Cultural History in Oslo through January 2009". It's May 2009, and it's still there as evidenced by my photograph. Punkmorten (talk) 16:06, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
