If the outcome is a delete, consider adding some mention to Jo Walton - also poet and SFF author of the same name, so liable to be confused Catcollier (talk) 00:24, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment: I'm looking for sources and cleaning the article, but I will say that if this person ultimately fails notability guidelines then the typical action is to not add a mention of her on any other articles. We almost never put hatnotes on top of articles unless the person in question has an article on Wikipedia. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   04:42, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. I was initially very skeptical, but after weeding out all of the blatantly unusable sources, quite a wide variety of usable ones do remain. I'm unsure about the Edinburgh Spotlight, but the rest of the coverage is in places we'd consider to be reliable. It's not the heaviest coverage, but what is currently on the article is enough to assert notability. I'm sure that there's more out there, but it'll take quite a bit of searching under each of the various names to find them all. I'll drop a note on your page, Catcollier.

 * Keep Sources are excellent. -- Green  C  16:44, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Nomination withdrawn - I agree, the sources are now excellent, and subject is clearly notable. Thanks Tokyogirl79, for finding sources that I couldn't. Ruby   Murray  18:11, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
