- Delete. She wrote a best selling novel but notability is not inherited. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 22:43, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep Plenty of reviews in reliable sources[1][2][3][4] and less notable sources[5][6][7][8] USA Today interview[9]. So many hits on Google and Google News. The nominator is proposing a lot of articles for deletion that are clearly notable and seems not to understand WP policies such as WP:BEFORE. --Colapeninsula (talk) 22:58, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep She gets interviewed, and people talk about her work, so she is notable. Dream Focus 23:02, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep I can understand why someone would think that such a brief, poorly sourced article was ripe for the chop. But in actuality, notability is 'inherited' for creative professionals, as per WP:AUTHOR, point 3. So writing a very successful, well reviewed book makes Roth notable.

- Keep authors of course become notable by writing best selling novels (or other notable books) what on earth else would an author be notable for? the details of their personal life and such relative trivia? Following such reasoning, no person would be notable. This is an encyclopedia , and people's professional careers are what is most important about them. DGG ( talk ) 05:37, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
