Doubtful notability[edit]

Creator of this page User:Pmbgggw was alerted in Feb 2009 by User:PamD to the probable lack of notability of this subject but nothing has happened since to improve the situation. These artists seem to be notable only for their illustrations for The Little Engine That Could and it seems to me that this page has nothing to add. I'm inclined to PROD it unless anyone thinks otherwise.--Plad2 (talk) 21:06, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

written by Doris[edit]

Perhaps they created some picture books written by Doris and jointly illustrated, as we say in the text. I determined against "some written by Doris" or "some of which Doris wrote" in the lead sentence because the U.S. Library of Congress now has 23 records for her in its online catalog, all as illustrator. There is one item credited under her name primarily, a map Pitcairn's Island: Where the mutineer's of the "Bounty" came in the year 1790, showing the dwellings and other places mentioned in the story – 41x56cm or about 16x22 inches [1].

Among their 20 most widely held works in WorldCat libraries (Doris), one is a book attributed to the Haumans as both joint writers and joint illustrators and it ranks 17th among the 20.

Surprise for Timmy (Macmillan, 1946) in libraries (WorldCat catalog).

The top 20 lists are identical for the two Haumans and no other among the 20 works is credited primarily to either of them by WorldCat. Only 20 WorldCat libraries hold Surprise for Timmy (in their digitized catalogs) and any picture book with original text by Doris is held by no more than 16 of them.

WorldCat search Doris Hauman returns at least four titles credited primarily to the Haumans. The database view displays "George Hauman" first, where someone else would be named first if that person were the writer. Surprise for Timmy and:

Bread & cheese (Macmillan, 1934) OCLC 1073749
Buttons : six gay stories with pictures (Macmillan, 1936) OCLC 8461763
Happy harbor: a seashore story (Macmillan, 1938) OCLC 1862368
