Appears to fail WP:AUTHOR. The books don't appear to be notable and while nominated for an award, no major awards have been won. Lara 03:19, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Actually, her first book did win awards, perhaps not major ones. “She made her breakthrough with her first novel, Marsmädchen (The Girl From Mars), which was published in 2003 and received several book awards.”
 * Book Awards

This information has been added to the article. I oppose deletion.--DThomsen8 (talk) 10:48, 4 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - she appears to have attracted significant coverage, albeit primarily in German language sources (e.g., , , . She's also the winner of several major literary awards in Germany: the LUCHS 2007 prize (see also ), a  Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis in 2004, and several others; see here page on the German wikipedia, here . Now, most of this information still needs adding to our article, but I think it's more than enough to demonstrate notability. Scog (talk) 11:14, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: I've added details on some of these to the article, but there's more that could be done if anyone has the time. Scog (talk) 22:56, 4 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - seems notable in Germany, per sources above. -- Cycl o pia -  talk  17:06, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:ANYBIO. The Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis award win for Marsmädchen and subsequent nomination for Busfahrt mit Kuhn is notable. The Luchs prize seems less notable or at least the German WP article is not citing/referencing it well. Nominator, WP:ANYBIO has "The person has received a notable award or honor..." and not "major." I interpret notable in that case to be notable per WP rules and usually also look over the award article to see if it seem to be a bona fide "notable" subject. --Marc Kupper&#124;talk 04:50, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Withdraw per award win. Lara  14:53, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
