Has had some success, but other than the Times review doesn't seem to meet WP:AUTHOR or WP:GNG. Boleyn (talk) 10:56, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - she has changed her name to Sam Hepburn and written more books since the one book that had been identified in the article at the time of the nomination. I am continuing to conduct research, but have been able to add a review from The Telegraph, and generally expand the article. Beccaynr (talk) 21:34, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - with the expansions I made, there appears to be some support for WP:AUTHOR#3 notability based on reviews for her children's/young adult novels. Her debut novel was reviewed in the Financial Times, The Telegraph, and The School Librarian, and apparently The Times or Times Literary Supplement (the link is not working in the article, or from her archived website, and only an abstract is available on ProQuest); another novel has reviews from The School Librarian and BookTrust, and another novel is reviewed by The School Librarian. As to her later works, I did not find reviews to support notability, and none are listed on her official website. There is also a source she wrote on Writing.ie, which includes reference to a news article and supports some biographical information; I have not yet searched for coverage of her journalism/documentary filmmaking career, but there may be further sources available.
