Cannot find any sources to indicate she passes WP:GNG or WP:NAUTHOR. De-prodded with rationale "widely held books--look for reviews . might meet WP:AUTHOR". I believe they were referring to NAUTHOR points 3 and 4 which suggest the author might be notable if their body of work is notable, but I can't find anything to suggest that is the case for this series. There are reviews from Publishers Weekly, but since they review everything, that can hardly be taken as evidence of notability. Other than that, I don't see anything.
As always, happy to withdraw if there is an indication that I've totally missed something. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 08:57, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

The subject does not even appear to meet a credible claim of significance, much less notability. Support deletion. ThePortaller (talk) 14:14, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

- Weak keep She has reviews, but mostly in specialist publications which like Publishers Weekly review a lot of genre fiction, though PW certainly doesn't review everything published. RT Book Reviews (multiple reviews)[https://www.rtbookreviews.com/author/suzanne-arruda], Historical Novel Review[https://historicalnovelsociety.org/reviews/stalking-ivory/], Kirkus[https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/suzanne-arruda/the-crocodiles-last-embrace/], PW[https://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-451-22026-4][https://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-451-22294-7], Library Journal[http://reviews.libraryjournal.com/2005/12/books/genre-fiction/mystery/mystery-reviews-december-15-2005/] (I've not checked the other library journals which aren't online). It still needs someone to write an actual article though. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:56, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
- Keep – Meets point #3 of WP:AUTHOR, per the subject's works having received multiple independent periodical reviews. North America1000 13:24, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
- Keep, meets WP:NAUTHOR, in addition to her books being reviewed by Romantic Times, Kirkus, PW, Library Journal, and Historical Novel Review, some have also been reviewed by Booklist ie.

- Comment, oh, and the School Library Journal has reviewed some of her books including [http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/book-reviews/13074414/freedoms-martyr-story-jos-rizal-national-hero-philippines-book Freedom's Martyr: The Story of Jose Rizal], [http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/book-reviews/5482803/from-kansas-cannibals-book-review From Kansas to Cannibals], [http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/book-reviews/14695256/girl-he-left-behind-life-times-libbie-custer-book The Girl He Left Behind], and [http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-mystery-writer-finds-romance-in-1920s-africa-2010mar15-story.html heres an article] from The San Diego Union-Tribune that gives some background on Arruda.
