- Keep There are a number of published reviews of her works (which are published at at least by Penguin; see [http://www.penguin.com/read/book-clubs/the-house-at-the-end-of-hope-street/9780143124948 here]); see [http://www.heroesandheartbreakers.com/blogs/2016/02/first-look-menna-van-praag-witches-of-cambridge-february-9-2016 here], [http://thereviewbroads.com/2016/03/book-review-the-witches-of-cambridge.html/ here], [http://www.compulsivereader.com/2013/07/22/a-review-of-the-house-at-the-end-of-hope-street-by-menna-van-praag/ here] and more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pingumeister (talk • contribs) 12:13, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
- Penguin is something. The first is a user-generated site, the second is a blog, the third is user-generated ... do we have any reviews in RSes? - David Gerard (talk) 13:53, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
- They are not user-generated. They aren't written by notable authors, but I don't see why that's a problem. -- Pingumeister(talk) 22:03, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
- Draft instead because she is in fact notable, considering over 3,600 library holdings and they were by a major publisher, that in itself is sufficient, the sourcing will have to be improved, however. SwisterTwister talk 20:11, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
- Leaning Keep -- is NY Journal of Books RS? [http://www.nyjournalofbooks.com/book-review/dress-shop-dreams link to review]. If yes, may work towards satisfying WP:NAUTHOR. Unless I'm mistaken, Ballantine Books is not being self-published. K.e.coffman (talk) 07:18, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
