Elizabeth Scott (author)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Could also maybe redirect to Living Dead Girl (novel).

Only reliable secondary source simply mentions that the author is writing for an imprint. No other indications of notability other than writing one book, Living Dead Girl (novel), which appears to be notable as a winner of several young adult book awards. Fails to meet WP:AUTHOR in my eyes.

 * Keep. The notability criteria for creative professionals include 'The person has created ... a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews'. I've added reviews of her works and see that most of them have had multiple reviews in the specialist press. So Scott seems to meet this criterion quite readily.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep The article could be expanded, yes, but Elizabeth Scott has had quite a few books published, and she has enough third-party sources to establish notability.TH1980 (talk) 05:01, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
