I PRODded it, but it was removed with the comment "wrote her own novels", which misses the point. There's no indication that her novels were notable or that she is a notable novelist. TJRC (talk) 03:48, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per the plethora of mediocre reviews uncovered by XOR'easter. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:11, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Gene Shaw, in a review for the Library Journal, remarked that [Notes for a Memoir, 2006] is “a fun read for Isaac Asimov fans,” but also acknowledged that the author’s writings about Isaac’s death and her resulting grief are poignant and moving. In a contribution for Booklist, reviewer Carl Hays opined of Janet Asimov: “She impresses with her knack for entertaining while informing.” A reviewer for the Analog SF Web site called the book “an eloquent reflection on life and love with Asimov and the importance of imagination. Bardi, writing for the Humanist, concurred, stating that “one concludes that these two writers learned muc from one another, shared an immense understanding, and filled volumes in the other’s heart and mind.” [8]
Elsewhere, a Kirkus review says, "This Asimov writes more smoothly than the other one, but does less playing with ideas" [9]. XOR'easter (talk) 17:07, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Another review of Notes for a Memoir: "Her work stands with his: holding hands, perhaps, but on its own feet" [10]. XOR'easter (talk) 17:24, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fairly strong keep with the evidence provided by XOR'easter . Sadads (talk) 01:33, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep An absurd nomination and PROD as it is easy to find detailed coverage including the SF Encyclopedia and Contemporary Authors. Andrew D. (talk) 17:53, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep While I understand the nomination, with almost all the current sources being from works closely connected to or by Asimov, it is clear that her body of work and outside sources show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:03, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
