Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marion L. Starkey
meets , frankly, i am surprised, nay shocked, {{u|Northamerica1000}}, that you would nominate Starkey for deletion (maybe some |trouting is in order{{=)}}), if ever an author should be kept based on one work (let alone other books that she wrote) Starkey meets the grade. Her 1949 book ''The Devil in Massachusetts'' has received numerous |reviews, just take a look at  Ron Unz|UNZ.org  http://www.unz.org/Pub/StarkeyMarion-1949?View=Overview here with reviews by ''Saturday Review (U.S. magazine)|Saturday Review'', ''The American Historical Review'', ''The Atlantic|The Atlantic Monthly'', ''The New Republic'', ''The Forum (defunct magazine)|The Forum'', ''The American Mercury'' and ''The Nation''. Also, Arthur Miller was inspired by ''The Devil in Massachusetts'' to write ''The Crucible''  (https://books.google.com.au/books?id=oyVBAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA34&lpg=PA34&dq=The+Devil+in+Massachusetts+by+Marion+L.+Starkey+book+reviews&source=bl&ots=EWbfi8DM8Q&sig=bX9a6xA_zYYbZMDIjH6RTyTd9xg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwituZjyo8_VAhXHG5QKHfAVBFw4HhDoAQhDMAY#v=onepage&q=The%20Devil%20in%20Massachusetts%20by%20Marion%20L.%20Starkey%20book%20reviews&f=false ''Film Criticism, the Cold War, and the Blacklist: Reading the Hollywood Reds'') - "As Miller recalled in his his memoir, "as though it have been ordained, a copy of marion Startkey's ''The Deveil in Massachusetts'' fell into my hands."" Esther Forbes reviewed it for the ''New York Times'' from https://books.google.com.au/books?id=c_GXmkqqv5IC&pg=PA150&lpg=PA150&dq=The+Devil+in+Massachusetts+by+Marion+L.+Starkey+book+reviews&source=bl&ots=X4dazabTSk&sig=2yf2gD_1mds43twnGVoILkJ8GtQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwituZjyo8_VAhXHG5QKHfAVBFw4HhDoAQg0MAM#v=onepage&q=The%20Devil%20in%20Massachusetts%20by%20Marion%20L.%20Starkey%20book%20reviews&f=false ''Esther Forbes: A Bio-bibliography of the Author of Johnny Tremain'', and there are plenty more reviews out there in googleland. Also, as admirably pointed out by {{u|SwisterTwister}} above (Coola, are you trying to receive a barnstar or something?:)), WorldCat (a good indicator of possible notableness) shows a large number of library holdings of her titles including https://www.worldcat.org/title/devil-in-massachusetts-a-modern-inquiry-into-the-salem-witch-trials/oclc/704037849?referer=di&ht=edition for this one over 1700 holdings and numerous editions, and finally, not sure but, is ''The Devil in Massachusetts'' studied at US unis/colleges? while googling for  book reviews i came across some sites that offer to provide an essay/paper on it, anyhoo, a more general author book review gsearch also brings up reviews of her other titles ie. ''The Cherokee Nation'' reviewed by ''Pennsylvania History (journal)|Pennsylvania History'' https://journals.psu.edu/phj/article/view/21714 here and ''Kirkus Reviews|Kirkus'' https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/marion-l-starkey-5/the-cherokee-nation/ here
