to explain further, the relevant guideline is WP:NAUTHOR. We do not normally consider that one volume of short stories and student-level prizes are sufficient for that. Kirkus Reviews has a reputation of being non-discriminating, and the PW review isn't by itself enough. The criterion for accepting an afc is a good chance of passing afd, and based on my experience there, the odds are considerably less than 50%.

However, I just checked WorldCat, and there appears to be additional material -- see [1] -- she is covered in Contemporary Authors, which is best accessed as a part of the Gale Literature database, available through most large public libraries and all college libraries. A citation to that is in my opinion sufficient, and I am prepared to defend an article on anybody with a substantial entry there. Find it, (if you can;t find it ask me for help) and use the material there to expand the article. Let me know when you are ready. DGG ( talk ) 06:43, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

you sent me a thanks, but you resubmitted without adding the necessary material. DGG ( talk ) 05:18, 27 November 2014 (UTC)`
