The result was keep. Withdrawn by the nom (me). Sufficient sources have been found to suggest borderline notability. (non-admin closure) Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:25, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Selected Stories

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

A follow up to Articles for deletion/Vintage Munro. Identical case, so quoting from my prior AfD: "Anthology of short stories. Yes, the author won a Nobel Prize in Literature. No, that doesn't mean each of her works is notable (see also WP:NBOOK). Arguably, many of her short stories are notable and we probably need articles on more than we have, but anthologies are just containers, and per Articles for deletion/No Love Lost (book) (an AfD for another anthology of hers that ended up as a redirect), unless we can show that this anthology received coverage as a whole, related to the process of selection of the stories contained in it, it probably should be just a redirect, rather than (as currently), an unreferenced catalogue entry. PS. Note that this collection just reprints stories published before. Her anthologies which contain original work are more likely to be notable, but this is pretty routine."

 * Keep. Added 3 refs, including reviews from Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, and London Review of Books. These are unquestionably RS, like most other of their reviews, the Kirkus and PW ones are a bit short, but is a lengthy paragraph to count to SIGCOV. It seems to meet WP:GNG or criteria 1 of WP:NBOOK, only needing 2 or more refs. IMHO, this should be kept. VickKiang (talk) 05:52, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment Ping nom, are the current refs okay in your opinion? VickKiang (talk) 05:52, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The first two are very short, but the last one is very much in-depth. It's kind of borderline now, but given she is a Nobel Prize winner, I think we can AGF the significance of this, with a nod towards NBOOK #5. I'll withdraw this nom, tnx for finding sources.
