Doesn't meet WP:NBOOK or WP:GNG. Could possibly redirect, as one of its two editors is notable, but that could be misleading as article contains nothing on the book and he is only one of the editors. Boleyn (talk) 08:02, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow How Students Learn to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  • Keep, meets WP:NBOOK, as having been reviewed by multiple independent sources. Coolabahapple (talk) 12:55, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Query: is this a single book or three separate books? Reviews #1–5 listed by Cunard above refer to three distinct books, How Students Learn: History in the Classroom, How Students Learn: Science in the Classroom and How Students Learn: Mathematics in the Classroom, though #6 cites a single work entitled How Students Learn History, Mathematics, and Science in the Classroom and #7 appears to do the same, though I can't access it. WorldCat lists all four. Can anyone shed any light on this? If, as seems likely, these are three books that were also published simultaneously as an omnibus edition, is this a common format in this field and, if so, how do we deal with such works? – Arms & Hearts (talk) 19:41, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • How Students Learn: History, Mathematics, and Science in the Classroom (2001) is the 1st title published and covers all the subjects, the other three titles - How students learn: History in the Classroom (2005), How students learn: Mathematics in the Classroom (2005), and How students learn: Science in the Classroom (2005), are more specific (as the titles imply). a "Publication history" section could be added to cover these, also a "Reception" section could differentiate the various reviews for each title. Coolabahapple (talk) 06:25, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Having looked into it a bit more, it seems that you're right (though the 2001 date is incorrect – per the sources and WorldCat, How Students Learn: History, Mathematics, and Science in the Classroom was published in 2005 and the others in the same year). As such, only two of the source identified by Cunard (#6 and #7) are directly relevant, the other sources being about closely-related but nonetheless different books. Source #6 contains significant discussion of this book, but we require multiple sources, so whether or not the book is notable would seem to depend on what source #7 has to say about it. Unfortunately I haven't been able to access that source or find out anything about it. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 20:15, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • yes, agree about it being published in 2005, i based the 2001 year on the worldCat entries here but it looks like that it may have been the year of the individual contributions within the book, anyway i still reckon this is wikinotable, maybe the article could be reworked ie. "How Students Learn is a series of books ....." with reception section reflecting this etc etc. Coolabahapple (talk) 03:07, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to How People Learn. Even if this is an independently notable book or series of books, it is still clearly a spinoff of the other, and combining the information from both currently short and stubby articles will create a single more informative article.
