This was a redirect, turned into an article, turned binto a redirect, and then turned back into an article. I am bringing this here for a wider discussion because I have my concerns about notability, and another user has expressed the same opinion on the article talk page - basically if it's not deemed fit to be a redirect (to her father's article, my preferred option) then it should simply be deleted as she does not appear to be notable.

Keep Here is her obituary in the Books section of the New York Times, which indicates they considered her a notable author of children's books. Searching for coverage is complicated by the fact that she shared her name with her more famous mother. I believe that she was independently notable, not just because of her very famous parents.

Delete (weak) She was notable enough to warrant a NYT obituary, but that's probably because of her family. She was a published author, but only one book currently shows up on Amazon, and it's been out of print for nearly 40 years, as far as I can tell. On the other hand, my local library system does list her as the author of about 20 books in the collection, so perhaps that implies that she is notable.

Comment A Google Books search incorrectly shows her mother Anne Morrow Lindbergh as the author of some of the books written by the daughter. Lack of Amazon listings for an author who died 20 years ago indicates little, as notability is not temporary. If she was mentioned only as a daughter of famous people, I wouldn't be recommending "keep". Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 22:15, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Cullen328 and WP:NTEMP. Substantive NYT obit is strong evidence of her notability. Here are book reviews from Christian Science Monitor [1] and Washington Post[2]. --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:13, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
