I agree that this claim should come in in one way or another, but I'd argue that to label a work as "important" without context or explictly sourcing the claim is the very definition of peacocking per the Wikipedia guidelines on the subject. (Bob Dylan is an important musician, but there's no need to say, "Bob Dylan is an important musician" when we can cite the claim to someone instead, or just give evidence of his influence). Can we find a source like "Professor Diego Jones said 'it is an important work that set the standard for all books to come'", or other evidence of its impact? Then we can either put the "important" in quotations, or we can just drop the word entirely and give evidence of its impact that will demonstrate its importance. I'll leave it in peace for now, though. Cheers, Khazar (talk) 21:53, 10 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
