• Comment: I did some reorganizing and citing. Little in JSTOR and the newspaper databases I checked. If we could find independent coverage of her having won the Saroyan Prize, or having been nominated multiple times for her Pushcart Prize ominations, then it would be a keep.

• Comment: More reviews excerpted here. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 14:10, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Each of her three memoirs has multiple published reviews. It's enough to convince me of a pass of WP:AUTHOR even without considering her win of the William Saroyan International Prize for Writing. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:24, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Found citation for: Novy, Marianne. "Class, Shame, and Identity in Memoirs About Difficult Same-Race Adoptions by Jeremy Harding and Lori Jakiela." Genealogy, vol. 2, no. 3, 2018, n.p. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 14:01, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • As an MDPI journal, I'm not confident that's a reliable source, unfortunately. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:46, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per David Eppstein. Notability is clearer now. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 14:01, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per David Eppstein. Best, GPL93 (talk) 20:35, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I am convinced that she meets GNG. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 17:07, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
