I've listed this article for peer review because Brosh recently returned to the news with the publication of her second book. I've updated the article with new and overlooked media coverage. I think this reaches B-class now; it is well sourced and covers the subject thoroughly.

- I will be happy to read this and respond. May take a day or two to collect my thoughts. Innisfree987 (talk) 18:29, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
- Strike my “day or two”. I have a main comment, before we go farther. This entry definitely has loads of good information—to the extent that it’s actually more detailed than the nominal “main page” on her book. Navigating these content forks is tricky. If you’re still interested in working on this HenryCrun15, my main suggestion would be to move a lot of the detail on Hyperbole and a Half to the book’s page and write a summary for her bio’s entry. (You can check out Roxane Gay’s page for examples of book overviews on an author page although I don’t think this needs to be quite that abbreviated.)
A second choice would be to merge the book page into her bio and make it a redirect. I think that’s probably less desirable, as fans unaware of this discussion will inevitably restart the page for her book...but, Hyperbole really is the main source of her notability so maybe it doesn’t make sense to fork it off from her bio. Do you have a view one way or the other? I think this is the main thing to sort out before getting into finer points. Innisfree987 (talk) 19:23, 17 January 2021 (UTC)- Hi there and thanks for taking on this peer review. I would recommend keeping both the article on the blog Hyperbole and a Half and Allie Brosh, because I would be concerned that the resulting article would be too dense. I feel that there will be people who will want to read about the history and content of the blog, and people who want to know about the author, and a single article for both would be too layered. If you do think a merger is necessary, I would keep Hyperbole and a Half; the comic itself became more renowned than the author. HenryCrun15 (talk) 21:56, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
- We’re in agreement about the value of two entries. So, yes in that case, my main rec is to move some of the detail about the blog and first book (as the Hyperbole and a Half page appears to be about both—which makes sense as a wiki notability matter, because a lot of the available sources date to the publication of the book) and give more of a capsule summary on her bio’s page. As a small example, it might make sense to mention NYT bestseller but I would save the other lists and awards for the blog/book page. Does that sound sensible to you?
I realize it’s a lot of work and you listed this months ago so if you don’t have time right now, I understand. I’m willing to help (or just do a sample to show what I mean) if you’d like but of course all this is just one editor’s opinion. Innisfree987 (talk) 23:09, 17 January 2021 (UTC)- Okay, I have moved a lot of material from Allie Brosh to Hyperbole and a Half. The Allie Brosh article now focuses on her career path, art style, and her struggles with mental illness and other more personal information.
I hope that's enough of a start to get the peer review going. If possible, do you think you could peer review Hyperbole and a Half at the same time? HenryCrun15 (talk) 07:01, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

- @HenryCrun15: Looking at this article since the review has stalled for a month, I must say that I do feel that it seems to meet B-Class criteria. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 06:15, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hello all, very sorry, I only just happened to notice this in the watchlist; I had seen you working on the entries but missed the comment that you were finished HenryCrun15. I apologize! If MJL‘s comment suffices for your purposes that is fine with me, or I’d be glad to read both (would be tomorrow or the next day). Just please ping me to let me know if you want more input, so I make sure I don’t miss you again! Innisfree987 (talk) 06:30, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
