No significant coverage from reliable sources. The Guardian source is a blogpost that only mentions the subject in passing. Aŭstriano (talk) 03:09, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

- Comment For those looking for sources, there appears to be another author with a pen name of Alison Tyler (Elise Title is her real name) who writes romance novels. Given the book titles and geography, I think these are different people. DaffodilOcean (talk) 13:54, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
- Comment. Her work has gotten reviews in Publishers Weekly [1] [2] [3] [4] and Library Journal [5] [6] [7] [8]. I'd want to see a little bit more in order to satisfy NAUTHOR, but some of her work seems to be notable. Will keep looking. MCE89 (talk) 14:48, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
- There's a short one here from the Midwest Book Review. Romantic Times seems to have published 2 reviews, per this Broadway World article [9] and this press release from her publisher [10]. Best, Bridget (talk) 18:13, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
- Not too substantial, but there is brief coverage of her work in local publications, like the San Francisco Chronicle [11][12], the East Bay Express (already cited in the article), and the Bay Area Reporter [13] (URL dead). Bridget (talk) 19:05, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Toadspike [Talk] 11:11, 1 June 2025 (UTC)- @MCE89@Bridget, you have both linked a bunch of sources but not !voted either way. @Aŭstriano@DaffodilOcean, it would be great if you could weigh in too. Toadspike [Talk] 11:12, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
- Delete agree with MCE89. ロドリゲス恭子 (talk) 19:42, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
- Comment I am not sure if these short reviews are enough to establish notability. I would leave it up to more experienced editors. Aŭstriano (talk) 13:12, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
- Delete I don't see enough coverage here to warrant keeping this. DaffodilOcean (talk) 13:57, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
- I'm probably at a weak delete. I don't see quite enough in the sources that have been presented to meet NAUTHOR criteria 3 or GNG. MCE89 (talk) 14:04, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
- Agree with the above - weak delete, given the critical reception found. Bridget (talk) 21:29, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
