Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kate Evans
I reluctantly agree that the subject's novels and poetry do not seem to show notability, though it looks more than possible that without the relative lack of popular attention to (and consequent |systemic bias against) poetry, the poetry would be notable. The awards record falls a little short - for instance, she seems to have been nominated for the Lambda Awards but not shortlisted. However, while her name makes searching difficult, there is some chance that she meets  - GScholar shows no fewer than 94 cites for ''Negotiating the Self'' and lower but still significant rates for some other books and articles probably coauthored by her rather than another K. Evans. And her apparent research areas (LGBT studies, education, creative writing) are not ones where citation rates tend to be high. Finally, I find it very difficult to |assume good faith about this nomination. The nominator's entire editing history consists of three deletion nominations, all of them of authors or books published by Vanilla Heart Publishing, who the nominator implies have written the articles - a suggestion that can immediately be rejected by looking at the articles' histories. And this one (unlike the others) shows no obvious signs of having been edited by the subject either. In all other respects, Vanilla Heart's reputation as a publisher has no bearing on whether or not this article should be kept
