The reason left by DGG was: Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved. DGG ( talk ) 05:17, 15 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
to explain further, the relevant guideline is WP:NAUTHOR. We do not normally consider that one volume of short stories and student-level prizes are sufficient for that. Kirkus Reviews has a reputation of being non-discriminating, and the PW review isn't by itself enough. The criterion for accepting an afc is a good chance of passing afd, and based on my experience there, the odds are considerably less than 50%.
However, I just checked WorldCat, and there appears to be additional material -- see [1] -- she is covered in Contemporary Authors, which is best accessed as a part of the Gale Literature database, available through most large public libraries and all college libraries. A citation to that is in my opinion sufficient, and I am prepared to defend an article on anybody with a substantial entry there. Find it, (if you can;t find it ask me for help) and use the material there to expand the article. Let me know when you are ready. DGG ( talk ) 06:43, 15 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
you sent me a thanks, but you resubmitted without adding the necessary material. DGG ( talk ) 05:18, 27 November 2014 (UTC)`Reply
