AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Still little to no assertion of notability in this article after 3 years since the last AfD. Essentially no coverage of this author in reliable sources, so fails the WP:GNG.


 * Weak keep Article needs cleaning up but I think the author does just about meet notability criteria. I agree with outcome and comments on previous AfD.  I think nom.'s statement that there is 'essentially no coverage of this author in reliable sources' is a bit harsh, but I can see that the article in its current state could benefit from an AfD discussion.

 * Keep&mdash;There's little available on her biography but her books are widely reviewed and she is listed in the International Who's Who of Authors and Writers 2004. Perhaps marginally notable.&mdash;RJH (talk) 16:27, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - no significant coverage in reliable sources, and thus fails WP:GNG. Claritas § 17:03, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Has has multiple books published by extremely notable publisher Bloomsbury  Her works have been reviewed by the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times  and The Herald  just to name a few.--Oakshade (talk) 20:07, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Reviews, albeit brief, in major newspapers look good enough for me. If she were a musician this type of coverage would pass notability; it's harder to reach this level of coverage for books.Minnowtaur (talk) 22:53, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - As noted above, Prantera's books, while largely out of print at present, have been published by major publishers and reviewed in respectable journals including the TLS. She's in that difficult mid-list position where, because she hasn't published since 2003, most of her books are not much referred to online. John Self (talk) 08:26, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Once notable, always notable...and she gleaned reviews in major papers when her books were in print....Vartanza (talk) 08:16, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
