Fails WP:NAUTHOR: no secondary sources about the author, just a few book reviews. McGeddon (talk) 14:02, 3 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Withdrawn by nominator / speedy keep, I'd evidently misread NAUTHOR and didn't think reviews were sufficient. Apologies for wasted time. --McGeddon (talk) 15:00, 6 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep Passes Author #1: "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." The reviews in RS support this claim. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 17:16, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment It isn't true there are no secondary sources about the author herself. I added the Baker and Taylor author biography to the article prior to the nomination for deletion. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 17:21, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep as this currently seems notable and acceptable as I'm currently typing this. SwisterTwister   talk  06:17, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. I spent a bit of time yesterday researching Sue Hendra and she is genuinely a substantially publisher author. It's interesting that she'd never had a page before. It's probably because she write books for small children. That's probably an example of the bias that sometimes exisits in Wikipedia. Seaweed (talk) 12:43, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep clearly passes the first criterion of WP:NAUTHOR in my book; multiple reviews in secondary sources. Vanamonde93 (talk) 06:43, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, Hendra meets WP:AUTHOR as reflected in article, here are some more reviews; from Publishers Weekly - for Oliver's Wood - " Hendra turns the tables on diurnal creatures--such as humans--by presenting darkness and light as basic matters of perspective.  .. The oversize type, simple shapes and minimal plot best serve beginning readers, and Hendra's gentle animals demystify nightfall even as she puts a sweet spin on the concept of bedtime." and some from Kirkus,  for Dragon Jelly - "while Hendra and Linnet choose a festive, neon pastel palette set against a black background to make the festivities truly pop.",  for Oliver's Wood - "Hendra's simple text has flair: The adjectives conjure up funny images, while the story gives readers plenty to think about, without ever using the words nocturnal and diurnal.",  for Monsters Don't Eat Broccoli - "The vibrant gouache illustrations capture the silly playfulness of the text as goofy, rounded, toothy monsters delight in their odd meals in a variety of settings." and another review from SMH for Supertato - "this book is delightfully silly,  .. Kids will love it, and it may even encourage them to eat their veggies."Coolabahapple (talk) 14:44, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
