Sarah Perry (American Author)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable writer & blogger - apart from a single passing mention in the New York Times here, I'm unable to find coverage of this person in independent, reliable sources - certainly not the kind of in-depth, significant coverage that would make her notable. The refs which do turn up (like those used in the article) are mostly self-published and/or blogs.

Note that she is not to be confused with the other, better known Sarah Perry, who is obviously notable and covered in plenty of RS. Fyddlestix (talk) 03:11, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete antinatalism activist who publishes articles, and books on the subject with a non-bluelinked, small press, ninebandedbooks.com, specializing in "writers who chafe against prevailing cultural sentiments and taboos." Her books have only been reviewed on non-notable blogs.  I have been a=unable to locate WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS on her.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:24, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. No RS, full of OR, orphan, can't find any citations. WorldCat shows only 6 institutions hold her book Every cradle is a grave. Written by SPA whose 2nd edit was creating this article...likely vanity or fanpage. Agricola44 (talk) 05:44, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete does not fulfill notability requirements at this time.Dlohcierekim (talk) 12:36, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete The article claims her work was "taught at Columbia University" without sourcing such a claim, or making it clear weather this was in one class or many, and how deeply her work was interacted with. Short of having a course at Columbia entitled "the thought of Sarah Perry, phylosopher" I doubt this could add much to notability. Does not pass any of our guidelines. Not for academics, or writers.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:35, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
