So back in 2019, this BLP was a nom. for deletion and the consensus was to move this BLP to the draft NS, but it wasn't executed. Five years have passed since then. Upon conducting a quick Google search, it seems that the subject still doesn't meet the basic WP:GNG. Most of her work doesn't meet the standards for WP:N so she fails WP:NCREATIVE as well. Despite receiving Asian/Pacific American Awards for Literature, it's not adequate to establish WP:N. Therefore, it seems appropriate to proceed with deletion for now. — Saqib ( talk | contribs) 15:58, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

- Keep. Anoosha Syed has had a number of books published by large presses, with reviews of these works in places such as Publishers Weekly (link 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6), Kirkus Reviews (links 1, 2, 3 plus more here), School Library Journal ( starred review plus more on site, along with being covered in articles such as this one), and more than a hundred other reviews that can be found through the Wikipedia Library. In addition, there are articles and interviews focused on the subject and her works such as these (link 1 and 2). And that is not even all of the coverage out there. Syed easily meets the WP:Author notability guidelines as a creative professional who has "won significant critical attention." -- SouthernNights ( talk) 21:25, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per SouthernNights explanation above. — Maile ( talk) 23:33, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- Keep - per GNG and the rationale presented by SouthernNights. Lots of book reviews. Netherzone ( talk) 14:08, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- I've decided to withdraw this nom because I think @SouthernNights has a valid point. I must admit I'm not great with sources that aren't related to Pakistan. — Saqib ( talk I contribs) 15:46, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
