This author has certainly been published, but more outside notice of one's works is required for authors and journalists per WP:AUTHOR. The article is dependent on citations to her own writings, and otherwise little more can be found beyond WP:ROUTINE professional directory listings. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 15:11, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete has written about many notable subjects, but there is no SIGCOV to establish the subject's notability as a writer.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 15:18, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete being theculture editor of a small paper does not make one notable. Even being culture editor at the New York Times is not a default show of notability, but it might be showable that such people have had enough coverage to be notable. The only editorship that default shows notability is being editor-in-chief of an impactful academic journal. Even then it may more be because being given such a position is normally reserved for those who are seen as leading figures in some academic circle, and I guess also because the editor-in-cheif controls the flow of the journal, which since it is impactful has impact. Editors of popular magazines and newspapers may and often are notable, but this does not apply to sub-metro area papers especially when it is not even the top editorship.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:13, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

 * That's an event announcement and a boilerplate bio. IF they do point to notability, it is WP:TOOSOON as the SIGCOV is not there.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 18:13, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
