Fails WP:AUTHOR, WP:GNG: self published, no notability, was indeed a finalist in the Lambda Awards, and mentioned in passing in awards listings, but an award - let alone award finalist - is not notable as per WP:AUTHOR. More importantly, we fail WP:GNG as there is no "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject."

- Delete. I was unable to find GNG-supportive sources. I looked using her pen name and real name using The Wikipedia Library Search, ProQuest, Newspapers.com, and Google News. I found no in-depth coverage. Searching using "Vicki Thomas" was complicated somewhat by the existence of California-based YA fantasy author Vicki D. Thomas], who as far as I can tell is not the same as North Carolina-based lesbian mystery author Thomas/Bradshaw. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 14:14, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
