Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jess C Scott (2nd nomination)
Tough case, right on the line. Fundamentally I believe the author is probably notable due to the number of works published and number of readers, as http://www.librarything.com/author/scottjessc seen here at LibraryThing. However meeting the technical hurdle of  is a challenge that Wikipedia sets for inclusion. It's arbitrary, but so is the height limit to get on the roller-coaster. So keeping GNG in mind, looking through the refs I see one that counts for a reliable source that discusses the subject in-depth, and that is the ''Word Riot'' interview. The rest are articles ''by'' Jess Scott (not ''about'' Jess Scott), which can't be used for GNG purposes. Or they are just brief mentions, a single sentence quote, or notice of appearance somewhere, which are not considered for GNG purposes. Typically what is needed for authors to meet GNG are two types of sources: interviews that talk about the author, and book reviews (in reliable sources). Are there any book reviews in Publishers Weekly
