I don't believe one story in an anthology and a novel with one very short article discussing it meets WP:AUTHOR. I couldn't find anything to meet WP:JOURNALIST either. Sgubaldo (talk) 21:13, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep. (I created the page.) That she was given her own entry in the Companion to Contemporary Black British Culture suggests to me she has a place in recent Black British culture which makes her notable. Dsp13 (talk) 00:54, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment - My initial search for sources indicates she also developed a website, which was reported on in the Guardian in 2004: New chapter for black literature. Beccaynr (talk) 16:36, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep - The entry in the Companion to Contemporary Black British Culture (2002) includes biographical information and indications of further coverage, such as "Her work on fostering and adoption was featured in the Channel 4 Adoption on Trial series and a paper on her adoption survey for the Voice newspaper (the first of its kind on black attitudes towards adoption) appeared on the Channel 4 website." Her paper "Why black carers are deterred from adoption" was first published in Adoption & Fostering in April 2000. In addition, there is the review in Wasafiri by Steffen Krueger of her novel (pp. 73-74) Cherish (2003) I reviewed at the Wikipedia Library, and I found a review at the Community Care website. She was interviewed by the The Guardian in a Q&A format in 2003 after her novel was published, and as noted above, in 2004, The Guardian reported on her website development, and also includes her statements. She also wrote for The Guardian in 2004, and there is a note appended about her upcoming participation in a debate and her association with the Thomas Coram Research Unit. I think with the available sources, there is support for WP:BASIC notability, and the article could be further developed. Beccaynr (talk) 07:21, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Substantive entry in Companion to Contemporary Black British Culture and other sources found by Beccaynr enough for GNG. Espresso Addict (talk) 15:01, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
