 * Speedy keep. I would think that this meets WP:NBOOK #5: "The book's author is so historically significant that any of his or her written works may be considered notable. This does not simply mean that the book's author is him/herself notable by Wikipedia's standards; rather, the book's author is of exceptional significance and the author's life and body of written work would be a common subject of academic study." Robertson Davies is among the most studied Canadian authors. Tchaliburton (talk) 21:24, 12 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment. Also, some quick searching turned up the following reviews: University of Toronto Quarterly, Washington Post, Montreal Gazette, Boston Phoenix, Canadian Literature. Boleyn, you say you couldn't "establish that this meets WP:NBOOK or WP:GNG"; what steps did you takes to establish notability before reaching this conclusion?
