Was DePRODed without addressing the issue(s). Concern was: Fails WP:GNG and WP:NAUTHOR Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 21:54, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I explained the issue perfectly clearly when deprodding. How about taking a bit of time to think before making such a knee-jerk deletion nomination? The prize for which this author was shortlisted is the top prize for woman authors, and one of the top handful of prizes for any author, in the UK. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 22:04, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per the many reviews available to anyone who takes a few seconds to look, for example by clicking on "news" above, for example, , , etc., as well as the shortlisting for the Women's Prize for Fiction that obviously spells notability to anyone with any clue. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 22:11, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep Her book The Portable Veblen received multiple reviews (in addition to those listed above, also New York Times, LA Times, NPR, and others). She therefore qualifies under WP:AUTHOR #3 (produced a work that is the primary subject of ). Also nominated for National Book Award, California Book Awards and as mentioned before, Women's Prize for Fiction. Hzh (talk) 00:53, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - in agreement with those above. I have done some work on the article so it now lists all three of her books and links to reviews of them. Tacyarg (talk) 01:02, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep When the first three pages of a Google search includes all of these, it is not only obvious that the subject is notable but also that the prodder and nominator haven't looked very hard:, , , , , , , , , , . --Michig (talk) 11:08, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep (what is all this white fluffy stuff:)), meets WP:NAUTHOR and WP:GNG, books are well known ie. ''The Portable Veblen held by around 1000 libraries, books have been reviewed by lots of sources, as listed above. Coolabahapple (talk) 23:04, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Obvious keep nominated for one of the most prestigious literature prizes for female authors should, in itself, be sufficient, yet above sources provided should be 1000% more than required to turn this into a speedy keep. The Rambling Man (talk) 22:41, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I would have thought that the administrator who nominated this would have withdrawn by now to save Wikipedia the embarrassment of having a deletion template on the article about the only person ever to have been shortlisted for this prize whose notability is supposedly in doubt. But, then again, pigs might fly. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 19:09, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment, ps. i have created seperate wikiarticles on 3 of her books that each meet WP:NBOOK. Coolabahapple (talk) 07:57, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
