 * Keep. Searching Google and Google News oftentimes isn't going to cut it when dealing with older topics like this one—a lot of potential sources are "hiding" in books, newspapers, and the like. In this case, the book received a number of reviews (Journal of American Folklore; The New York Times; The Daily Oklahoman; Los Angeles Daily News), and although some are a bit on the short side, together I think they satisfy WP:NBOOK/the GNG. It also looks as though there may be some coverage on pgs. 160–162 of this book (and potentially others in Google Books), although I don't have access to a copy. Probably notable; worst-case scenario would be a merge/redirect to Alice Marriott (historian). Extraordinary Writ (talk) 08:45, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per above sources--excellent digging--and NTEMP. Jclemens (talk) 21:28, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep per . The four reviews appear to be WP:RS. For example, The Oklahoman is one of the largest newspaers in Oklahoma (as per List of newspapers in Oklahoma) and meets WP:NEWSORG, the same for Los Angeles Daily News, which also has high circulation and appear to have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy per credible editorial guidelines. They are also secondary and independent. On WP:SIGCOV: some of those lean on the shorter side though they are mostly somewhat longer than 100 words and do not fall under directories and databases, advertisements, announcements columns, and minor news stories. Therefore, IMO the reviews borderline meet WP:SIGCOV requirements, so I am voting weak keep, but similarly to Extraodinary Writ's suggestion if there is consensus that the reviews are inadequate, merging to Alice Marriott (historian) is a suitable WP:ATD.
