User:Alvonruff/Bibliography Depth Notability

Here are the statistics on published authors found in the ISFDB. Due to the increase in self-published e-books, and the inability to easily determine the readership of those ebooks, these statistics are limited to novels that have an ISBN.

It's clear from these number that publishing fewer than 20 novels does not in itself make one notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Publishing 20 or more novels makes the probability possible, but not guaranteed.
