Sources

Of the six sources currently cited, two are interviews and so are not fully independent, two are written by the subject herself (and so are not independent at all), and only the remaining two are truly independent, secondary sources.

She is pretty clearly notable, due to the Hugo nomination. A good thing too, because without it the notability here would be borderline at best. Additional sources would really help here, particularly some independent reviews of her work. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 00:08, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Additional sources have since been added, making this comment no longer applicable. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 02:43, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Citations in lead

The lead is littered with citations that are not at all necessary since none of it is controversial. I suggest you move the cites to the body of the article. Yoninah (talk) 20:30, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

First Indian writer nominated for Hugo Award

That seems to be a tenuous fact. By the time of the awards ceremony, a second writer from India was nominated too. Yoninah (talk) 10:02, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
