The references included here don't seem to support a notability claim. They include several references to the subject's own web site, to the blogs of other writers, to her speaker's engagement biography, notices of her having been runner-up for some awards, and to various other Internet pages with no named author and which may not be independent of the subject. If this is the best that can be done, then she doesn't seem to meet WP:BIO. KDS4444 (talk) 22:50, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep I think the profile here best describes why she is notable. I would be happy to try and improve on the references. I think a hasty XFD ignores the fact that she is a British journalist with six published books, all of which have been translated into 9 different languages. She has been a contributing writer for BBC, the Financial times, and Vanity Fair. As the creator of the page I will do my best to improve upon what I've already added to the page.

 * Keep I added several reviews of her books. She passes notability for Authors with significant critical attention. There are a number of other reviews on EBSCOhost I can't access full-text in addition to what I did add. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 01:54, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep - If BBC Radio 4 found her and her work notable enough to serialize three of her books, then she's notable for us. Plenty of coverage of her and her work. --Oakshade (talk) 03:23, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Article could use improved referencing per WP:ATD, not deletion. Clearly meets notability guidelines as outlined by and . Hmlarson (talk) 19:28, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
