 * Comment. Her writing partner, Ian Fraser (naturalist), earned an OAM for his work, but McJannett seems to have received much less recognition. I'm struggling to even find reviews of their books (e.g. NPA Bulletin (1991)). Perhaps someone with more Australian expertise will have better luck. pburka (talk) 15:51, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Comment I've tried to improve this article, but have struggled to find anything that confirms notability. That these books have two authors and the man is agreeably notable and the women is not sits very uncomfortably with me, so I'll abstain from !voting CT55555 (talk)
 * Redirect to Ian Fraser (naturalist). I can't find RS on her via Google, Newsbank or WikiLibrary, but given she co-authored several books with Fraser, I think that justifies a redirect. Cabrils (talk) 03:18, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep for the moment. It's hard to quantify what her contributions are to the partnership at the moment. There is an entry at p.737 of the National Library of Australia. Whether, its about her, I don't know. Her partner, or husband? only has a single ext link as well, which proves he was awarded the  Australian Natural History Medallion likely making him notable. But this is the just prior to the internet, that period about 3-10 years beforehand, which by definition is hard to find relevant information. I struggle against it, and its a major sticking point every single time. Its a continual hassle. So I think there is more here, that has not been defined never mind discovered, so its currently a solid keep, until I see something that says otherwise. She is co-author on all those books and there is more of them.   scope_creep Talk  11:23, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
