The result was withdrawn by nominator. Sources have been found that show that she fits WP:AUTHOR now. Note to the other voters: when I first found the article and did a search I didn't find many sources but there were more from when a search was done omitting her middle name or with her middle initial. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 14:47, 19 December 2022 (UTC) (non-admin closure) ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 14:47, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Gladys Lucy Adshead

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Non-notable author who fails WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR. A search via the WP refs search engine only returns a result on WorldCat and a google search returns a bunch of either unrelated results or name drops. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:42, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep - searching by "Gladys Adshead" or "Gladys L. Adshead" finds reviews from various papers over the years. I have added these to the page. I suspect Annis Duff, a co-author on the poetry collection, may also be notable if anyone is looking for ideas. If this is kept, I think the article should be moved to Gladys Adshead as that seems to be what she was known as, until then I just put an infobox on the page with that name.

 * Do you think she meets GNG and AUTHOR now? If so then I'm willing to withdraw this nomination since you've managed to find sources. ― Blaze WolfTalk<sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze Wolf#6545 19:32, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I think she meets WP:AUTHOR with all the reviews I found, and the additional ones from . DaffodilOcean (talk) 01:32, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - I added six reviews from Kirkus Reviews, and I think the additions by provide strong support for WP:AUTHOR#3 because there are multiple reviews for a collective body of work as well as the co-edited poetry collection (according to Worldcat, there are "11 editions published between 1948 and 1976 in English and [it is] held by 1,018 WorldCat member libraries worldwide").

 * Keep just Kirkus reviews maybe wouldn't be enough, but with several in the Times it looks notable to me. Jahaza (talk) 01:02, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets WP:AUTHOR per, An Inheritance of Poetry, Brownies-Hush!, and Brownies - It's Christmas! have three reviews and passes WP:GNG or WP:NBOOK. Casco and Smallest Brownie's fearful adventure are also borderline notable (though it's indeed the case that many reviews lean on the shorter side and are borderline WP:SIGCOV, but overall for the first three books notability is likely established IMO). Therefore, the author meets criteria 3: The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.  VickKiang  (talk)  20:46, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
