So the question is, is that what slam books were about? The current wording suggests it could be a question on any kind of topic, not just a specific person.

The result of the AfD was to keep this article. I accept that there may be a notable subject here but the article is deeply substandard as it is now.

Did more digging in newspaper archives and pulled primary and secondary sources that talk about slam books (contemporaneously and historically) and how they were perceived over time.

OK. I have now stubbed it. Please feel free to build it up again but please take care to reference it properly at each stage. --

Btw I can't believe this has a notability tag. It's a very important cultural phenomenon, precursor of hate pages on the web.--
