WP:BLP of a writer and artist, not reliably sourced as passing our inclusion criteria for writers or artists. The notability claim here is that her work exists, with no indication of the kind of distinctions that it takes to distill existence into notability, and the referencing is almost entirely to primary or unreliable sources (profiles on the self-published websites of directly affiliated organizations, book self-sourcing its own existence rather than being referenced to independent media attention about it, Goodreads and a blog) which are not support for notability at all — the only source that actually comes from a real WP:GNG-worthy media outlet isn't about her, but just briefly namechecks her as a giver of soundbite on the significance of a local independent bookstore, which isn't enough coverage to get her over the bar all by itself if it's the only real media source in the mix. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to be referenced considerably better than this. Bearcat (talk) 17:41, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

 * comment Delete I am unable to find any reliable sources to add to this article. There is no listing for her in VIAF, which to me indicates that the publishers of her works are very small presses, perhaps collectives. The article looks like it was written as an assignment for a Contemporary Feminist Thought class and perhaps the original editor is unaware of what makes a writer or artist notable. The class is still in session, so it is possible there is going to be further review by an experienced teacher. appears to be a POC. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 02:32, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I notified the main editors involved with the article several days ago. Ther have been no improvments. I now think the original creator dropped the class and the article had been abandoned. Fails notability and I changed my vote to delete. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 17:05, 4 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete does not appear to be a notable artist or writer. A cursory search does not drag up anything that I could really add either. CaffeinAddict (talk) 10:06, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
