Notability not proven. Insufficient RS. Article seems more like a resume rather than an encyclopedic overview. BEFORE found little discussion of this author in mainstream sources, mostly blogs and niche websites. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 17:17, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Yes, the article needs more citations (which I'll work on adding in the coming days). However, the author has an entry in Baker & Taylor Author Biographies along with multiple reviews in Publishers Weekly (see examples 1, 2, is 3), is described as one of her publisher's "rising stars" in this Publishers Weekly article, and also has a number of reviews in Booklist, Library Journal, The Daily Telegraph (see Wikipedia Library for all these). All of that is enough to prove this person meets our WP:AUTHOR notability guidelines.--SouthernNights (talk) 13:10, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Once you add these, I'll be happy to withdraw the AfD. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 20:34, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong keep as per SouthernNights, plus other reviews in School Library Journal, VOYA (magazine), etc. LadyofShalott 14:42, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Would appear to meet WP:GNG per above comments. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:21, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - at her Internet Speculative Fiction Database page, more reviews are listed, e.g. for her novel Rage, there is a Realms of Fantasy review [1]; for her co-authored novel Black and White, there is an Interzone review [2]; for her co-authored novel Shades of Gray, there is an Analog Science Fiction and Fact review [3]. She is also known as Jackie Morse Kessler; with this name, I found four reviews online at Kirkus Reviews [4] and a review at the NY Journal of Books. Based on existing sources identified in this discussion, WP:AUTHOR notability seems well-supported by reviews of her collective body of work. Beccaynr (talk) 00:46, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep The reviews discussed above support that WP:NAUTHOR is met. MrsSnoozyTurtle 03:21, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
