Delete when an article even bothers to mention the subject is a "frequent letter writer" to a newspaper, as opposed to at a minimum saying they have had op-ed pieces published by that paper, it is a sure sign the person is just plain not notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:32, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- This is more inane even than your usual arguments for notability. She's not notable because she's notable for something, but it's something you don't think should be interesting so it doesn't count? I recently added to the article the information that she's a frequent letter writer because several reliable sources cover that aspect of her work. It is no more an argument against notability than any other source of minor fame. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:26, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I've expanded the article some, and based on her publications, The New Yorker profile, and the comments of the NYT letters editor, I believe she meets WP:GNG. Cheers! Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 20:34, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Well published, cited and referenced full Professor at an ivy league university, accomplished also as a poet and author of fiction and letters to the press. I looked well beyond the citations in the article to establish WP:GNG at the very least. Thank you, Grand'mere Eugene, for improving the article! gidonb (talk) 00:42, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
