Rather WP:NN author: Fails all 5 criteria of WP:AUTHOR. While there are citations, they merely confirm the existence of the books and the others are written by the subject. Sure she has a profile at The Guardians web page, but that doesn't satisfy WP:Author. Toddst1 (talk) 18:41, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. Her newspaper articles have occasionally been mentioned by other journalists and academics, but I can find no significant coverage of her to qualify under WP:BASIC. So i think the question is whether she meets WP:AUTHOR point 3 : "The person has created... a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of ... multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." Searching Google News Archive found one review of Hopscotch and Handbags and one review of The Reluctant Bride (none of My Family and Other Disasters). I don't think that's quite enough.

 * Weak Delete - I'm sure there's an argument for them meeting criteria number 3 at WP:AUTHOR but I'm damned if I can find it. No substantial references on her work were available. If someone else finds them, I'll happily change my vote. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 14:23, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete As a regular guardian reader I like her stuff a lot but filling column inches is not a standard for notability and there seems to be lack of decent sourcing to support what is, at the end of the day, a BLP. Spartaz Humbug! 07:03, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
