Wikipedia is not for advertising, marketing or public relations. Nearly all info in this article about Hossain comes from Hossain. The sources lack independence or are passing mentions: Simon & Schuster is the publisher of her book; UVA is a dead link, but appears from the title to be a primary source alumni interview; C-SPAN is a one-sentence identification of who she is; Women's Media Center is an advocacy organization that trained her ("to connect [her] to editors, reporters, producers, and bookers"); Ms. is a primary source interview; USA Today and Newsweek are authored by her; The National Press Club is a passing mention; HuffPost quotes her briefly; The Stream is a show produced by her; The Pain Gap and the excerpt in Vogue are authored by her; and the Spilling Chai podcast is hosted by her.

No independent analysis in third-party sources is cited. Do such sources exist? Searches of the usual types found a capsule review of her book in Library Journal, and full-length reviews in South Asia Journal (a magazine), and The Daily Star. If her book is considered a significant or well-known work, then two full-length reviews might satisfy the "multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" part of WP:AUTHOR #3. In practice, however, I've found that the community does not consider a single general interest book with two reviews to be sufficient to demonstrate notability of the author. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:12, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect to The Pain Gap. From my view, the book is notable, but there does not appear to be support for the "significant or well-known work" prong of WP:AUTHOR#3, which requires this "in addition" to "multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" when an author has only written one book. I also consider capsule reviews to be 1 or 2 sentence blurbs, and the Library Journal review therefore more than a capsule and helpful support for WP:NBOOK notability due to the quality of the source and depth of the secondary commentary. Otherwise, similar to the nominator, my searches have not found substantial support for notability that is independent of the book, so a redirect to the book seems appropriate at this time.

 * Redirect to the The Pain Gap. There is lots of coverage for the book including several reviews that are easily identified, but there is almost nothing on the author, outside of press for the book launch. I think it perhaps WP:TOOSOON. Really too soon, too tell if she is notable.  I think a redirect is the ideal solution here.   scope_creep Talk  11:27, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
