Delete as I'm finding minimal evidence of notability, though open to being persuaded otherwise. The Drover's Wife (talk) 08:12, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Pinging @The Drover's Wife for a fresh read of Ann Howard (author) in light of expansion and additional sources found. (Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a book review of her Cattle Drovers, but there are many other reviews besides.) Cielquiparle (talk) 12:30, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the ping. Changing to keep in light of your excellent rewrite which really clarified her significance. The Drover's Wife (talk) 21:35, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Author of notable works on history of Australian Women's Army Service, as well as local Dangar Island history, who easily meets WP:NAUTHOR as well as WP:BASIC. Article prose has been expanded (while the overly long bibliography has been pared down), with citations. For SIGCOV, would point to the 2018 article about her book A Carefree War in The Australian (access via Gale OneFile/Wikipedia Library); 2003 review of C'mon Over in The Journal of Australian Studies (requires access to Taylor & Francis); and 2018 review of A Carefree War in Agora (Wikipedia Library/EBSCOHost).

Keep per WP:HEY thanks to Cielquiparle's clean up and expansion. Meets WP:NAUTHOR. Cabrils (talk) 23:25, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Seems like a clear keep now, plenty coverage as per WP:GNG CT55555(talk) 17:24, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
