Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/High Lonesome: New & Selected Stories, 1966–2006
per . First of all, I found about 50 reviews of this book in Newsbank, which satisfies clause 1 of the notability guideline: {{xt|The book has been the subject1 of multiple, non-trivial2 published works whose sources are independent of the book itself.}}  Second, certainly satisfies clause 5 as well: {{xt|The book's author is so historically significant that any of his or her written works may be considered notable. This does not simply mean that the book's author is him/herself notable by Wikipedia's standards; rather, the book's author is of exceptional significance and the author's life and body of written work would be a common subject of academic study.}}  Oates's work is the subject of intense academic study.  See here: http://www.jstor.org/stable/465490, http://www.jstor.org/stable/2925264, http://www.jstor.org/stable/2928235, http://www.jstor.org/stable/2925207.  These are just from the first 25 out of over 1200 hits on JSTOR.  Third, the nominator does not give any valid reasons for deletion, which is decided based on which sources exist, not on whether there are any in the article.  Notability does not need to be "established" in an article, it needs to be discovered based on a search for sources.  See  for details.&mdash
