I started the article. Then I added some more detail and quotes from reviews to establish notability, after the notability tag was slapped. I believe than a published author with several books on the market more than meets the notability criteria. The fact that she's also a former finalist of a very prestigious award in the field is just an added reason not to kill this article, I believe.

What is the source for claiming "best known for the two novels set in the fictitious Belarus planet"?

I am deleting reference for Emily Devenport being best known for her work as Lee Hogan. How would you prove that. Are there sales figures for the books published as Emily Devenport and for the books published as Lee Hogan, and as Maggie Thomas? Was the Belarus books optioned for a movie or a comic book? The claim seems more like a personal opinion. If we were to cite my personal opinion, I would have said that she was best known for her work as Emily Devenport, as I only found out about the other work a year ago. The article should not be based on opinion, but on cited sources.Mburrell (talk) 06:38, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced short stories

An alleged publication could be considered controversial, and possibly could be removed under WP:BLP. For books, Books in Print, Google books, Amazon, or the publisher's website might be adequate. For published short stories, the actual publication might be adequate, with adequate specificity for theoretical verification. That is, if the author could inform us (say, on this talk page) where her short stories were published, an editor (not the author) could add the information. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 22:53, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
