Likely fails
WP:NAUTHOR. Supposedly "has written over 40 books, which have sold more than 1.5 million combined copies", but I cannot find any proper reviews in decent sources. Could be a redirect to Sisterhood Magazine, which might be more notable. Edwardx (talk) 14:52, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

- Comment I can find a lot of mentions, but no obvious profiles of her as a person. It seems Brio (magazine) might actually be a better target, as she was editor there longer and that magazine seemed to have more cultural impact during its heyday. Jclemens (talk) 15:59, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete: WP:NAUTHOR. --Whiteguru
- If not kept, Merge to Sisterhood Magazine, of which she is founding editor. However as Brio (magazine) is also a potential target, perhaps the better solution is to Keep. 1.5M books in print is also a notable achievement. I am used to hearing of books with a print-run of 500 750 or 1000. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:51, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

- Comment I have no thoughts on notability yet, but I note that the Sisterhood Magazine has also been posed for deletion above. DaffodilOcean (talk) 20:19, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - I have spent some time at ProQuest and newspapers.com, and found news articles on her and her books. The 2004 news article [2] is significant coverage of Shellenberger, as is the 2009 article [3]. I also added reviews of her books in the newspapers, and removed fluff.

- Keep: Thanks to additional sources.--Ipigott (talk) 06:57, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep in view of the news sources about the author detailed above and the book reviews added to the article so that WP:GNG is passed and deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 00:17, 16 April 2022 (UTC)]
