Doesn't seem to pass WP:NAUTHOR. None of the awards won is from a major award organization. I couldn't find any sources about the author herself, nor anything about her books. Prod declined with "notable works" but I don't see it. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 14:37, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Keep as the creator of a significant and well-known work or collective body of work for young adults and children (WP:NAUTHOR#2). Nine of her books were reviewed by Publishers Weekly[https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/authorpage/maria-v.-snyder.html], two more by Kirkus[https://www.kirkusreviews.com/author/maria-v-snyder/], and five by Locus[https://locusmag.com/reviews/]. pburka (talk) 15:14, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
Keep, see e.g. this The Guardian children's books podcast interview about her work[https://www.theguardian.com/childrens-books-site/audio/2015/may/11/maria-v-snyder-interview-shadow-study-chronicles-of-ixia] and recommended reading "after Harry Potter" review; also in the Guardian[https://www.theguardian.com/childrens-books-site/2015/jun/24/what-to-read-after-harry-potter-recommendations-suggestions], and a review for one specific book in the Guardian as well[https://www.theguardian.com/childrens-books-site/2016/jun/18/scent-of-magic-maria-v-snyder-review], which also has a full article on her[https://www.theguardian.com/childrens-books-site/2015/apr/25/maria-v-snyder-from-meteorologist-to-novelist]. Recommended by the Times of India[https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/books/features/7-fantasy-series-you-should-read-if-are-a-fan-of-george-r-r-martins-a-song-of-ice-and-fire/photostory/69446316.cms?picid=69446336]. Plus the sources already in the article, given above, inaccessible to me (LancasterOnline), or of unclear reliability[https://www.theaureview.com/books/interview-maria-v-snyder-talks-terracotta-warriors-writing-routines-and-criminal-minds/].

:How did literally none of that come up when I searched? I just got a bunch of false positives. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 15:28, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
::@Pburka@Fram please add those to the article! Those are great finds Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 15:29, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
:::I added reviews to the article when I deprodded it ;) I'm not sure if the Guardian reviews are reliable, as they appear to be written by someone named "Wanderer378", but the PW, Kirkus, Locus ones are sufficient, anyway, IMO. pburka (talk) 15:33, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
Keep per above. Passes WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. Cheers! Fake scientist 8000 15:30, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
