Non-notable writer. The prize she won does not seem to be very high-profile, and I can find no substantial coverage in reliable independent sources (personal webpage and university faculty pages don't count). Reyk YO! 09:10, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
Keep I looked on EBSCOhost and she has a substantial review from a journal in the database for her poetry. In addition, she is a regular contributor to Huffington Post, and several academic and literary journals. I'll hit Lexis Nexus later and see what I can find, but I think she's notable enough to keep. She is also the editor of several books that seem to be used as textbooks. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 14:04, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
- Comment I've updated her page to reflect what I've found in databases. There is still a little more to add, but I think my "Keep" argument is stronger now because I've shown that she's been covered in journals and her work has contributed to the way Creative writing is taught at the University level.

Keep. At the very least, meets WP:BASIC with what's currently in the article, plus this, and this and this and this. --Rosiestep (talk) 02:08, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
