Tiffany Clare

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:BLP of a writer, who has no strong claim to passing WP:NAUTHOR and no strong reliable source coverage. The only "references" here are book reviews from a website whose own "about us" page describes itself as guaranteeing a review to every indie or self-published writer who submits their book at all -- which basically makes it a publicity platform, not a reliable source that's organically making its own editorial decisions about who to cover -- and her only potential notability claim is being an award finalist for that same PR platform's own internal year-end awards. But as always, every literary award that exists at all is not an automatic notability pass -- we care only about the major literary awards that get media coverage, not about small-fry awards that can be sourced only to their own websites about themselves.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete, no critical coverage from independent sources (WP:GNG) - all the online reviews that I could find just repeat the publisher's promotional blurb. DferDaisy (talk) 16:18, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep I found reviews from Booklist and Publishers Weekly for several of her novels. I added them to the article. Ping to take another look. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 19:49, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
 * WP:GNG requires that "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail - of the free-to-read references in this article, none of them discuss the author at all; they only mention Tiffany Clare as being the author of the book being reviewed.

 * Delete author of popular novels lacking sufficient coverage to pass WP:AUTHOR. It may merely be WP:TOOSOON for this bodice ripper.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:01, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. WorldCat shows holdings in the low 100s for several works, which is typical for mass market "bodice ripper" (as my colleague says) novels. Booklist and Publisher's Weekly are trade mags that review a large fraction of the annual output of the publishing industry, so these listings do not go to notability.
