Seems to fail WP:AUTHOR, I could not find any reliable independent sources about them. The current source used for their bio is a podcast interview their spouse did. Suggest deletion or redirect to List_of_Dragon_Award_nominees#Best_Young_Adult_/_Middle_Grade_Novel Emm90 (talk) 05:53, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

  • Redirect to List of Dragon Award nominees as WP:AtD for now. That's where Shami Stovall appears, and her being nominated seems notworthy, but in itself does not establish notability. This may well be a case of WP:TOOSOON, so I strongly feel a redirect is preferable to deletion. I don't know if the awards she has won are siginificant enough to establish notability in accordance with WP:ANYBIO. Daranios (talk) 16:11, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
  • :Regarding the awards, here is an explanation of the non-Dragon Award ones for anyone who is reading:
  • :*CYGNUS Book Awards, awarded by Chanticleer Book Reviews, a pay-for-review service for indie authors.
  • :*New Apple Book Awards, defunct presently, seems to be the same thing as Chanticleer Books. They advertise literary services for indie authors.
  • :*Reader's Favorite basically advertising in the form of an award, and is, again, ultimately a site that sells book reviews for indie authors.
  • :*Baen Fantasy Adventure Award, a legitimate award given by Baen's Books, but it's not a significant literary award.
