References look non-independent, and I wasn't able to find any good independent coverage. Appears unnotable. Sam at Megaputer (talk) 21:23, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I added some references. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 20:45, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - having edited textbooks while a college instructor for almost two decades, and opened a library for a charter school last year, I've never heard of this award. DGG, what do you think? Bearian (talk) 16:44, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete If it is possible to make an article at all, it would be on the sponsoring organization, Textbook and Academic Authors Association, for this is only one of their several awards. The association operates by providing various tutoring and educational programs to authors, and awards for books. The purpose of the awards is promotional, and most of the information on the web is various publishers advertising their books. It's a genuine organization, not one that is irresponsibly PR oriented, but I am not aware of it having any particular importance , nor its awards being considered significant . An article could only be reasonably be written by someone without coi, for otherwise it would degenerate into PR--it is extremely difficult to cover such organizations in a NPOV with a conflict of interest, more so than almost any other subject.
