This looks like a case of :WP:TOOSOON. Unless I've missed something, she has so far published one well-reviewed but not award-winning or otherwise notable book. The refs reflect this, and I couldn't find more on :WP:BEFORE: it doesn't amount to notability, so fails :WP:AUTHOR. Her father is a huge literary figure, but :WP:NOTINHERITED.

• Delete a non-notable writer.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:34, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
• Delete She has done some work but not enough to be notable yet. I agree with :WP:TOOSOON. Nika2020 (talk) 11:44, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
• Delete non-notable writer. Donaldd23 (talk) 20:06, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
• Keep, or rename to Escape Routes (book).

• Delete one notable book fails WP:NAUTHOR, which requires "a significant or well-known work or collective body of work." (#3) or "significant critical attention" (#4). There's a case for an article on Escape Routes (book), and should that article be created, her article could be redirected there. Seems likely in the future she may become notable, but it's too soon to tell. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 15:40, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
• Delete An article should be created for Escape Routes (book) because it is a semi-notable book. So far, she doesn't seem to merit an article (WP:TOOSOON) Ajshul ^Talk _Work 15:59, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
• That could just be this article, with the order of the paragraphs reversed. Why delete when we can easily save the article through editing, without losing the history? I'd do it now, but renaming articles during AfD is discouraged. pburka (talk) 18:24, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
• Agreed. The content of the article that covers Escape Routes (book) would be useful within an Escape Routes (book) article which there is definitely a case for (especially to replace this article). Ajshul (talk) 03:15, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
• Merge to Kazuo_Ishiguro#Personal_life, where she is currently not even mentioned. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 05:43, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
• Keep or rename it Escape Routes. The subject's notability is tied to her work 'Escape Routes' which has a number of reviews. Every author is notable for his own work and since Escape Routes is her work, let her enjoy that privilege. This author is most likely to publish more books in no distant time which will boost her notability. Alternatively the article can be renamed Escape Routes because it has earned a number of reviews.
