Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Jessica Grose

It should be noted that the above claim by reddogsix that the article contains "a number of primary sources" had been corrected before this person created a deletion discussion. There is only one primary source listed--which is acceptable under WP:PRIMARY WP:PSTS anyway--which is an interview in The Wire wherein the journalist introduces the subject with original reporting.

Another above claim by reddogsix that the article contains " trivial mentions. (wedding announcement, job change, etc.) " is not supported by any relevant guidelines. A statement that the author is married is followed by a citation of an independent, secondary source (wedding announcement published by the New York Times, perhaps the most credible source on a biographical marriage) is simply a reliable citation. Similarly, each mention of a position held by the subject is cited by at least one independent, reliable, confirming news article or announcement (see WP:NEWSORG under WP:IRSS). Criteria for notability (particularly WP:BASIC and WP:PEOPLE) are met here.

Subject of the article does meet several notability guidelines and general notability, particularly WP:N and WP:GNG. The author is a noted figure with significant coverage (at least 12 secondary sources cited) from reliable sources (New York Times, New Yorker, Publishers Weekly, etc). No original research is needed to extract the content, particularly because the two works, published by Hyperion and HarperCollins, have multiple independent reviews in top publications. Per WP:AUTHOR, the subject does not appear to be the recipient of a significant award, though this hardly excludes any subject from article creation, particularly for creative professionals.
