(not quite an author, but author-related, hence the categorisation)
I can't discern sufficient notability for this editor. Sources are a press release [1], a self-written blurb [2], an uncritical interview [3], and - the best of the lot - an also-about-her article in Publishers Weekly [4]. I don't think that does in terms of WP:GNG (and I'm not sure what SNG would apply). -- Elmidae ( talk • contribs) 00:23, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

- Delete a non-notable editor. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 19:14, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
- Keep There are enough articles in Bookseller and other trade press referring to her as the representative buying a manuscript or similar stories to suggest meeting GNG: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. Although, with the exception of the last article which is already cited in our article, none of these are significantly about this person, they are significant-enough reflections of her notable role in the publishing industry to convince me that GNG has been minimally met. I know that's not the most ringing endorsement but WP:N doesn't demand more that that. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 17:29, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

- Delete Seems to not satisfy WP:SIGCOV, the links mentioned revert back to one mention of the same source again. Delta fiver ( talk) (UTC) 17:17, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
- Multiple articles published independently of both the subject and each other in the same major industry journal are not what I'd classify as "one mention of the same source." If I cited five articles about different aspects of John F Kennedy's presidency in Time, would that count as "one source"? Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 20:23, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
- Delete Fails WP:SIGCOV. Primary sourcing galore (including those listed above). Thebookseller articles are all press releases. Google search on her name plus "editor" turned up only three pages, none from independent third-party sources. sixtynine • whaddya want? • 07:44, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
