I came across this via PROD and after some searching, I found multiple reviews in trades and the like. It's enough to where I think it would probably pass, but to be fair I'm giving it an AfD debate just in case. I know that trade reviews are often debated as to whether or not they're considered trivial or not. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:41, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - trade and other reviews and references make this a perfectly acceptable, if a little short, biography of someone with a good collection of material. I personally don't consider trade reviews to be trivial at all, so I'd let this fly. Fish ^Barking? 01:55, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Strong Keep. Obviously notable. Has received starred reviews in Library Journal and multiple reviews in Publisher's Weekly. In addition, is published by well-known publishing houses. While the article needs major work, the subject is without a doubt notable.--SouthernNights (talk) 20:36, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
