This article about a writer and businessperson is poorly referenced. I have added a reference to a mention of one of her books, but cannot find other coverage to add and am not clear that she meets WP:NAUTHOR, WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. There was a slightly better referenced version of the article until 2021, but none of the three references in that are reliable and independent. Tacyarg (talk) 17:14, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep: The usual Kirkus and Pub. Weekly reviews [1], [2]. There's a palliative care doctor with the same name and decent reviews in medical journals, that is a different person; apparently already has an article [3]. Oaktree b (talk) 02:09, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Likely passes WP:NAUTHOR. She is an Macmillan author and found the book reviews described in the previous comment and several other second-tier (possibly) book review sites. More than borderline. scope_creep^Talk 08:57, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Weak keep, see Beeccaynr's sources. I'm only seeing the reviews Oaktree found, which are both about the same book - this doesn't satisfy the typical WP:NAUTHOR rule of thumb of "multiple notable books". I'm just getting bookshop and database listings for The New American Wedding. nb that she published that as Diane Meier Delaney. If anyone finds more reviews, I'm happy to take a second look, ping me. -- asilvering (talk) 22:15, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - reviews and other sources can help develop the article and support WP:AUTHOR notability. There is 2010 interview-based coverage of her novel The Season of Second Chances in the Connecticut Post, the Publishers Weekly and Kirkus reviews, as well as Hoover, Danise, The Booklist; Vol. 106, Iss. 15, (Apr 1, 2010): 24. ProQuest 235598289 and "The Season of Second Chances", Kane, Julie, Library Journal, 03630277, 3/1/2010, Vol. 135, Issue 4 (via the Wikipedia Library Literary Reference Center Plus); there is also 2002 wedding coverage in The New York Times with some biographical information; for The New American Wedding book, there is a Publishers Weekly review (her author name is listed as Diane Meier Delaney), and a review from Ebster, Deborah M. Library Journal; Vol. 130, Iss. 17, (Oct 15, 2005): 76. ProQuest 196841191. Courtesy ping Asilvering. Beccaynr (talk) 20:56, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  What the heck, I specifically checked PW?! Thanks. -- asilvering (talk) 00:39, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  So did I, but only managed to find it on the Wikipedia Library, then searched again online. Cheers, Beccaynr (talk) 00:48, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Withdraw (as nom). Thanks for finding those sources. If no one else adds them to the article, I'll get to it in a couple of days. Tacyarg (talk) 06:34, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Tentative keep per WP:HEY IFF the sources that are promised to be added are actually added. Until then, I request the AfD be re-listed. Bearian (talk) 13:51, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
