Neutrality
This biography doesn't seem to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. It appears as if it might be a promotional page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.77.40.58 (talk) 16:21, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
 * It's fair to say that neutrality is a long term issue here. The article appears to have been begun and tended to by the subject or her family. A look at the talk page of the article's creator is informative . Conflict of interest doesn't necessarily deep-six the article, but it's strongly discouraged, and our guidelines make it clear that conflict of interest must be divulged. Unfortunately, the involved accounts haven't honored that, and appear to edit at Wikipedia for very narrow purposes. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 00:43, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
 * If promotional or poorly sourced content is added again, I'll add the COI template and start a discussion at either the BLP or COI noticeboard. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 00:45, 6 December 2017 (UTC)


 * I went looking for more material on her and found only the one thing, which turned out to be leaning heavily on a blog interview she had done as part of publicizing her novel in order to define "ecoGothic". I don't think what we have now in the article can bear the weight, and seeing the concerns about neutrality, I'm close to AfDing the article. I'm going to ping the current assiduous editor,, as a heads-up, although their edits to the article right now fall under ill-advised grammatical "corrections" rather than things that make it less neutral. Orvasage, do you know of any other reliable third-party sources that can be added to the article: news coverage, further academic discussions of either her fiction or her own academic publications, or reviews in reliable sources of her books?

 * This is it for me (Orvasage). Two additional sources:

The Goose : A Journal of Arts, Enviroment and Culture in Canada (Wilfred University Press) Volume 13 | Issue 1 7-3-2014 Perdita by Hilary Scharper Nicole Bartley — Preceding unsigned comment added by Orvasage (talk • contribs) 23:15, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I found and used the former; the latter is here but doesn't appear to me to meet our reliable source standards. That does make three scholarly uses of her formulation of ecoGothic, so I won't AfD it. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:48, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Deletion
I've nominated this article for deletion. I keep coming back here, and the subject still clearly fails WP:AUTHOR, and also WP:NACADEMIC. Far too much time has been wasted here. L.R. Wormwood (talk) 13:13, 4 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Well, I'd just like to say that, "in and of itself" it isn't "in and of itself" a thing, notably "in and of itself", a source "in and of itself", for which it could benefit "in and of itself" from something that "in and of itself" is "in and of itself". 82.30.110.20 (talk) 05:32, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
