Tentacles fails the criteria in that is has not been the subject of multiple, non-trivial works. It has not won a major literary award. It has not inspired a movie, event or religion. It is not the subject of instruction at schools. And the author is not historically significant. 76.102.25.93 ( talk) 18:56, 14 June 2010 (UTC) reply
