[edit] Victoria Holmes
Fails WP:BIO notability guideline, she is the editor of a non-major work (and even if it were a major work it would still be questionable) Pilotbob 17:05, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. At the moment, Warriors' Amazon sales rank for YA SF is up around His Dark Materials, so the author is most probably notable enough. She's not just the editor -- she creates the plotlines that the other two authors proceed to fill in, and she maintains continuity of the series -- http://writerunboxed.com/2006/04/21/author-interview-erin-hunter/. Needs to be greatly expanded past the info on the website, though.--SarekOfVulcan 17:23, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete and make Erin Hunter a page on this matter rather than a dab page. JJL 23:03, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
- That's a possible solution, but as she's a published author in her own right, I don't think it's an optimal one.--SarekOfVulcan 00:19, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- Keep despite what she calls the "unconventional way of working" if the three coauthors have in fact produced a best seller, than all 3 of them are probably notable. In her case, she's done 3 other books, according to OCLC, [1] held in many libraries. That's enough. But there is some precedent for merging coauthors together into a single article.
