- Delete Google shows mostly self-references and promotion by her publisher, plus some basic local coverage. Not enough to pass WP:AUTHOR. §FreeRangeFrog 21:36, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep, her work has been significantly reviewed, was a finalist for a major award, and was a best book for a major newspaper. Yes, she gets local coverage, but Bay Area local coverage is like New York City or LA local coverage, it matters. she has had publishing contracts with 2 significant publishers. its not a lot, but i believe its more than enough to let the article stand.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 18:49, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Agree with Mercurywoodrose. Coverage is beyond "local" it is global. Coverage is more than promotional, they are legitimate independent signed reviews with (some) critical commentary. She has also published many articles in journals, magazines and newspapers not currently listed (mainly as a historian of Oakland). Her debut novel had a six-figure deal which PW considered notable. Overall I think this is enough to keep for now. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 19:47, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Her works have been covered by the San Francisco Chronicle, the Boston Globe 's Boston.com, the Oakland Tribune, and others listed above. One of her books was nominated for a major award. The subject passes the general notability guideline.--xanchester (t) 05:22, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
