I love all of her Nancy Drew books, though I haven't yet read them all, and she should write more!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.110.229.158 (talk) 22:16, 4 September 2007 (UTC) This page is a copypaste... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.220.247.136 (talk) 05:57, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Proposed for deletion
Clearly, it would be misleading to identify Kathryn Ellen Lilley with Carolyn Keene. None of the sources confirm Lilley as a ghostwriter of Nancy Drew books at all, and certainly not the most well-known ones.

In fact, I can find no sources to confirm that Kathryn Ellen Lilley is a real person, or to establish her notability at even a minimal level. --Leifern (talk) 04:49, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Lawsuit
"The editors at Grosset and Dunlap were so heavily involved in writing the Drew books that they won the lawsuit." It would be nice if this lawsuit was mentioned in the article. Preferably before this sentence mentions who won it. --Khajidha (talk) 00:09, 30 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Whoever wrote it previously did not seem to have fully understood the actual outcome of the lawsuit. I did a bit of searching in the article and citation and it turns out that Grosset and Dunlap did not actually win the lawsuit. I've updated the article with the full story. 50.46.153.186 (talk) 20:19, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
