I checked google News archives and the only mention I found of the subject was her being quoted in a news article. Nothing covering her substantially and all existing references in the article are primary sources. Fails WP:N due to lack of WP:RS. - Burpelson AFB ✈ 19:40, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Holding a named chair at a major university is a technical WP:PROF pass, but besides that, her books have been reviewed in a number of journals. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 20:14, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: Notable as per Roscelese. SL93 (talk) 21:25, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * How do book reviews in journals make someone notable? They are reviews of her books, not articles about her. If someone appears in a movie that Roger Ebert writes a review of, does that make that person notable? Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. Also, holding a named chair doesn't mean much if there are no reliable sources about her. - Burpelson AFB ✈ 21:28, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * It makes an author notable because they are the author's books. If the author didn't write them, there would be no reviews. SL93 (talk) 21:33, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * She is an author as well. You seem to have missed WP:AUTHOR - "The person's work either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums." Scholarly journals recognizing her books is significant critical attention. SL93 (talk) 21:37, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * There are sources about her as well -, , , and more in Google Books. SL93 (talk) 21:42, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Some may become notable for their private lifves, but that's usually a veru minor factor for anyone with a professional career.
 * Keep -- obvious WP:PROF notability clear with named chair and reviews of books in important journals. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 17:56, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - per Roscelese  →TSU tp* 15:16, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep . Meets WP:PROF and WP:AUTHOR. Named chair at major university always meets WP:PROF. Authors are made notable by substantial publications about their work, which are generally book reviews. All professionals are notable because of their professions., not the incidental details of their biographies and private lives. Authors for their books, musicians for their musics, athletes for their performance, scientists for their science.  DGG ( talk ) 01:03, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
