NN author, fails the GNG, WP:AUTHOR and WP:NOTMEMORIAL. Meets none of the criteria of NAUTHOR. No significant coverage in reliable sources beyond namedrops and casual mentions. Notability tagged for over a decade. Prod removed by an anon IP (with no other Wikipedia edits) with the threadbare rationale of "Better to improve than delete."

• Weak keep. There is significant coverage of her in The Encyclopedia of Northern Kentucky, published by the University Press of Kentucky, although the book partially cites Wikipedia. I was able to find some RS reviews of her books: [1][2][3] Gale lists six more reviews of The Adventure of Charlie and His Wheat-Straw Hat, including reviews from Booklist, Publishers Weekly, and education journals. Her books were published before the internet age so finding full text reviews on Google isn't going to be easy, but it's clear that coverage exists and our standard for notability is WP:NEXIST.

• Weak keep per Spicy. I also found a review of one of her books in the Kentucky Folklore Record. pburka (talk) 22:08, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• These are great finds for sources! WP:NAUTHOR now met, so keep Sam-2727 (talk) 23:47, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
