Justine Musk[edit]

Nominated this as for if this was to be read to a non-science fiction person, like myself, there is nothing remarkable about this writer other than being married to some billionaire, which does not signify notability. If notability can be proved, I will be happy to reverse this nomination. Jay Pegg (talk) 15:09, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Further comment, this does not help the fact that the book she has written is redlinked, hence the other reason to nominate this for AfD as well the bio is written mainly to sell books. Jay Pegg (talk) 15:12, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/Redirect to Elon Musk. He's pretty clearly notable, and right now there's only one sentence about his wife in his article. -206.193.226.51 (talk) 17:07, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/redirect. By my reading of WP:CREATIVE, being a published author is not notable on its own right, unless that person is widely cited or covered in other sources. After wading through four pages of google results that were almost completely generated by the author herself, I couldn't find any. Therefore, merge seems most appropriate. justinfr (talk) 17:18, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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

Keep - [1] shows several interviews with her, as well as reviews of her books. I believe that the book articles are just a matter of time - and based on the secondary sources, I believe that enough people feel she is notabile enough to interview, and as such, should have inclusion on Wikipedia.

Keep - The publisher released "Blood Angel" in a mass-market paperback edition. As anecdotal evidence of notability, I happened to notice a large stack of "Lord of Bones" copies on the featured books table at a Barnes & Noble bookstore last Sunday. Are there quantitative measures of notability for authors, such as Amazon.com sales rankings, that could be used to assess notability? (sdsds - talk) 16:33, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/redirect: Does not meet WP:CREATIVE. I would not give author interviews much weight because it is usually part of the book promotion process. I do check whether Amazon cites editorial reviews from reliable sources. A matter of time? Three years in paperback is long enough. Remember, " Notable in the sense of being 'famous', or 'popular' – although not irrelevant – is secondary." ~ Ningauble (talk) 17:52, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Doesn't the "works in many significant libraries" criterion of that guideline apply to Musk? (sdsds - talk) 01:27, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
