• Comment With the book nomination (though not sourced) (here:https://www.sfgate.com/books/article/Fiction-review-Sounds-Like-Crazy-3281991.php] and this [https://books.google.ca/books?id=p4-TBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA374&dq=%22Shana+Mahaffey%22+-wikipedia&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj7i8HEp-n3AhWENc0KHQwYAR0Q6AF6BAgDEAI] where they discuss her book in a paragraph about how it deals with mental illness, might just be notable. Brief synopsis of the book in Publisher's Weekly, [https://www.publishersweekly.com/9780451227911]. Not a primary source, but she's got an interview here: [https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/one-true-thing/201005/sounds-crazy-interview-novelist-shana-mahaffey].

• Keep I edited the article a bit and added in one of the sources above. She has two independent reviews of her book Sounds Like Crazy plus a bunch of other interest in sources that are debatable, so I didn't add them in (blogs, interviews) as the two independent reviews is enough to satisfy the minimum bar for WP:AUTHOR. It's not the strongest example as the reviews are not big, but I think it meets the minimum. CT55555 (talk) 16:27, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

• Weak delete - a good case where we need an article on the author's book, not on the author. Almost all of the coverage is about their book so convert this page into their book page and redirect the author name. [https://www.worldcat.org/identities/lccn-n2009027859/ WorldCat] holdings are rather low. 2407:7000:9D08:BE00:A1AB:12C4:EC87:8DE0 (talk) 22:07, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
• Delete - none of the WP:AUTHOR guidelines are supported with sufficient sources, including #3, which includes {{tq|a significant or well-known work}} in addition to multiple reviews. Her book is also mentioned as an example in [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Beware_of_the_Other_Side_s/p4-TBQAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22Shana+Mahaffey%22+-wikipedia&pg=PA374&printsec=frontcover Beware of the Other Side(s): Multiple Personality Disorder and Dissociative Identity Disorder in American Fiction] (p. 374, a paragraph) and briefly in [https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Plot_Whisperer/PpikDgAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22Shana+Mahaffey%22+-wikipedia&pg=PA123&printsec=frontcover The Plot Whisperer: Secrets of Story Structure Any Writer Can Master] (p.123, one sentence), but the book is not the {{tq|primary subject}} and these sources do not add much secondary support for significance of the work. Independent and reliable support for WP:BASIC notability also does not appear to be available at this time. Beccaynr (talk) 05:45, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
