Fails WP:AUTHOR. Could not find significant indepth coverage about her. Very few articles link to this. LibStar (talk) 01:09, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep This [1] and [2], she won an award from the State of Maryland. Reported on in the newspaper and the governor's office. Oaktree b (talk) 01:23, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Agree with Oaktree. While this is far from the strongest keep out there, the weak coverage is just enough to persuade me against deletion. MaxnaCarta (talk) 02:03, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:BASIC - e.g. A 'way out of a lonely place' (Baltimore Sun, 2006) is in-depth coverage focused on her and her writing; Shops to showcase items from people The Arc serves (The Frederic News-Post, 2015) has a focus on her collective work; Paul and his Beast (Kirkus Reviews, 2015); Meet Sarah Stup: Author with autism who has much to say about inclusion (Chapman University, 2017, an interview with context), and in the available preview of Disability and the Good Human Life (2013), her writing is quoted at 228; the preceding page that appears to have more content is not available, while the GBooks preview says "… Sarah Stup began using supported typing in 1991 at the age of eight. In response to a lecture in a high school science class about genetic issues and fetal testing for Williams syndrome …". At the WP Library, via EBSCOhost, there is Exceptional Parent. Oct2008, Vol. 38 Issue 10, p24-26. 3p. (abstract: "The article describes how a young woman with disability has paved a way for herself as a poet, essayist, children's author and advocate. Sarah Stup has made a choice to forgo traditional employment options for people with disabilities and to pursue the seemingly improbable option of becoming an author. It discusses the impact of autism on Sarah's ability to control her body." - full text is available; the author is affiliated with ARC). Beccaynr (talk) 18:06, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
