 * Keep I completely rewrote much of the article and added sources I have access to. In addition, there are several sources I don't have access to. The abstracts indicate that they would add to AUTHOR. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 18:17, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep I have also added some sources and information to the article. The subject meets WP:NAUTHOR. In the article, we currently have reviews of six works (including two reviews of one), and Megalibrarygirl has found reviews of 3 other works (again, including two reviews of one). Google searches show other reviews, eg, - which are not available online, or not without payment, but do WP:NEXIST to show that she meets criterion 3 of WP:NAUTHOR, with "multiple independent periodical articles or reviews". There was also a BBC1 Faces of Islam program about her in December 2000. RebeccaGreen (talk) 11:20, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. More of a borderline/technical pass of NAUTHOR, and although not a guarantee of notability, the quality and depth of the RS have been materially improved from a WP:HEY by  and ; clearly the subject's written works are of note in her specific field, and thus she is notable.
