 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete not enough coverage to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:29, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep found several reviews of her work and added them to the article. However, there's also more information in a journal, Magpies, that I don't have access to. These are the years, volumes and issues that she's written up in Magpies 1) July 2015, Vol 30, Issue 3, 2) March 2011, Vol 26, Issue 1, 3) May 2010, Vol 25, Issue 2.

 * Delete - Not enough sources to warrant notability. I'm quite put off by the fact that currently, 4 out of the 7 citations are not publicly available, which goes to show how difficult it is to find any sort of source dealing with her work. And the sources that are public seem to confirm that her notability is largely confined to the Christchurch children's literature scene. PraiseVivec (talk) 12:00, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment But I've shown that even if we can't access them, they exist. In addition, the journal, New Zealand Books is not local and reviews books from New Zealand and other parts of the world. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 15:52, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep She meets WP:NAUTHOR. Her books have been reviewed in the newspapers Waikato Times, Manawatu Standard, and Northern Advocate, on Radio New Zealand, in the Children's Book Council of Australia journal Reading Time, the Australian journal Magpies, and in New Zealand Books. Two of her books have been shortlisted for awards, and two have been named Storylines Notable Books. Per WP:SOURCEACCESS, "Do not reject reliable sources just because they are difficult or costly to access." RebeccaGreen (talk) 18:12, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment, Magpies July 2015 article added to article under "Further reading" (oh no! another subscription required source), and, since Broadbent is notable, have added the article to WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge.:)) Coolabahapple (talk) 11:48, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep, per wisdom of Megalibrarygirl and RebeccaGreen. Hyperbolick (talk) 13:14, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep, but needs bio info about her, not just details of her books. Moriori (talk) 22:55, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
