The result was Nomination withdrawn per the snowball clause - apparently the author in question has many reviews in notable newspapers, though they are from several years ago and did not show up in the first few pages of a Google search. Non-admin closure. NASCAR Fan24^{(radio me!)} 20:38, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

N.M. Kelby

[edit]

Non-notable writer. Though notability is asserted (no speedy allowed here), they do not meet the notability guidelines - no hits on Google News, and most Google hits are pages about her books (from her publisher), not the author herself.

comment Asserts published books by major publishers, therefore not possibly a speedy deletion. Actual notability will depend on references, of course. DGG (talk) 19:17, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep N.M. Kelby has published several books with reputable publishing houses Hyperion, Random House. Her books have been reviewed by independent sources.in the New York Times in the New York Times again; in the the San Francico Chronicle. She has received a brief interview and a book review in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, though only the interview is available for free. I can also confirm that there are Kirkus reviews though they are not available on line. There are probably more but that's enough as she seems to meet notability requirements with some ease Slp1 20:33, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
