*Redirect to R. DeWitt Miller and bold her there as target of redirect. PamD 10:11, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: have linked and expanded the unsourced last sentence which I'd previously overlooked. I think this gets her into notability. Imdb suggests there are other films too. PamD 10:23, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Commment Redirect. I created the article very early in my time here and am not sure I'd bother now. There are indeed reviews of the novel, at least; see here. These might be no more than one-line comments of course. The later short stories were all sold to one editor, and led me to a bit of trivia which doesn't help notability but which I found interesting: her third story appears in the same magazine as Stephen King's first sale.

  Changed to redirect per Piotrus's note below, though I think it's borderline whether it meets WP:NBOOK -- the Dave Truesdale review is a fanzine and not a reliable source, and the other two might be trivial mentions. Until someone can check those reviews to see if they're non-trivial I think we should give the article the benefit of the doubt, so redirect for now.

• Comment have expanded the article with sourced info about two notable films based on her stories. PamD 10:42, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Despite the recent improvements, and curious trivia, Hunger's work doesn't reach notability. --Lockley (talk) 21:11, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect per Piotrus, thank you Piotrus. --Lockley (talk) 17:13, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The subject falls short of notability guidelines. Only trivial mentions in the sources provided. Ugbede (talk) 6:53, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
• Delete . The subject might make a good thesis topic for someone studying the early years of science fiction, but there are insufficient secondary sources currently available for a Wikipedia article. We have no biographical information and, for all we know, the name might have been a pseudonym. pburka (talk) 16:38, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment, just a reminder to the nominator and others looking at sci fi authors/works, a great resource to look is the Internet Speculative Fiction Database, so we find that Hunger's book The Man Who Lived Foreve is wikinotable enough for an article as it has multiple reviews; in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Astounding Science Fiction, and by Dave Truesdale see here, so its not the case of "no reviews".

• Redirect. She is mentioned in this list but I think such a mention is not sufficient by itself, and I am afraid the subject fails WP:NAUTHOR, and I am not seeing any other sources to expand this. But based on the source linked by Coolabahapple I've stubbed The Man Who Lived Forever so now there is a valid redirect target.

  Piotrus, your pings did not work; you have to sign in the same edit that you add the pings. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 10:41, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Hmmm. Ok, I'll try again: @Clarityfiend, PamD, Mike Christie, Lockley, Ugbede, Pburka, and Johnpacklambert: --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:45, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
