Having added findsources to the talk page and checked on the results, I am doubtful about this person's notability. There are news results, but most of them are by her, not about her. I don't see a case for WP:AUTHOR here. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 15:10, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * I was inclined to say "weak keep" due to ; it may not be reliable and may be affiliated with this person, but some of the info contained hints at notability. However, it does seem too influenced by its connection with Shevey to be reliable, so Delete.   dci  &#124;  TALK   16:13, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I just want to contribute some research that might speak to the author's notability:
 * Article Shevey wrote in the Boston Globe
 * Mention of Shevey in the New York Times
 * Article Shevey wrote in the Chicago Tribune
 * Article about Shevey in the Los Angeles Times
 * Mention of Shevey in Time
 * Mention of Shevey in a book on Joni Mitchell
 * Shevey interview with Ray Bradbury in Playgirl
 * Book Shevey wrote about Marilyn Monroe
 * Book Shevey wrote about women in popular music
 * Book Shevey wrote about John Lennon
 * Mention of Shevey in the New York Times encyclopedia of film
 * Indeed there are not that many independent mentions of her, but I think in combination with those mentions, her publications bring her notability at least into the borderline area. Ocaasit &#124; c 16:52, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I can't see the LA Times article, and I can barely make out the encyclopedia mention, but the articles and the books by her are less important than the articles or books with significant coverage about her or her works.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:34, 6 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete No significant coverage to qualify per WP:GNG and her work does not appear to be notable per WP:AUTHOR. West Eddy (talk) 06:36, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable, does not pass WP:AUTHOR. I found one review of one of her books, and one article about a course she taught at USC, but otherwise no coverage ABOUT her. --MelanieN (talk) 23:26, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
