I don't believe this article passes the criteria of notability. At best perhaps a side note in the popular culture section of Honey badger, but as a 72-page book about funny animals it is hardly unique, and I don't think it's relation to a Youtube video (no matter how popular or notable itself) makes this book itself notable.

  • Comment. I'm in the process of trying to find reliable sources for this, but I have to admit that part of me does think this might best serve as a redirect or better yet, an article about the video and the book.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:16, 18 February 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79

:*Comment. The more I find, the more I think that it's past time to create an article about the honey badger video. The video has created a book and a potential tv series for its narrator, so I think that counts as "notable". I'm going to work on it now and when it's finished I'll come back to vote for a redirect, but not until I've finished the page.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:23, 18 February 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79

  • Redirect to The Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger. Most of the articles I've found that mention the book are more generally about the video, so I think that this would be best served as a redirect to the above article. It would probably be a good idea to keep the article's history in case there are enough independent and reliable reviews of the book to where a separate article would be necessary.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 07:06, 18 February 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79

:*Changing vote to keep. I kept at it and I think that between the two reviews and some new articles I've found, that the book has just enough attention to warrant keeping. A good part of me still thinks that it might be better as a redirect to the article about the video, but the book does have coverage.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 12:34, 18 February 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79

:*Comment. Thanks for letting me know that! I hadn't really been told anything about that, so I'm glad to have that clarified!Tokyogirl79 (talk) 20:10, 20 February 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79
