 * Leaning Keep. The subject is not a fan fiction author. Her writing was published in professional Doctor Who outlets, and appears to have been predominantly nonfiction. She might be better known under the "Jackie Jenkins" pseudonym. Some of her writing has been collected and republished in Single White Who Fan: The Life & Times of Jackie Jenkins (Hirst Publishing; 2011) ISBN 978-0-9566417-5-5 with a foreward by Gary Gillat and biographical material, which appears to be mainstream distributed and still in print. There is substantial critical commentary on both Jenkins & Bishop in ; also at . Review here by Gary Gillatt (former editor of Doctor Who Magazine): . Wikipedia Library is coming up with Matt Hills. Doctor Who's textual commemorators: Fandom, collective memory and the self-commodification of fanfac.

 * Keep as per Espresso Addict. -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:44, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per Espresso Addict. Meets notability guidelines.--SouthernNights (talk) 14:08, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Draftify. ExpressoAddicts suggests sources may exist, fine, but this needs a rewrite. In the current form this cannot be kept. Or, maybe simpler, just tag it with notability? A warning tag might encourage some folks to fix it faster. It is probably not bad enough to warrant WP:TNT, but it needs fixing (as in, it needs to demonstrate notability, which the current version does not). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 10:03, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep, per Espresso Addict. I'm satisfied it's notable can be verified, that's good enough to keep it. //Julle (talk) 20:53, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
