Deletion
If it only it were that simple! I deleted your recent article because  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:01, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
 * It was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: her passion... most vigorous and eloquent poets of her generation... Her passion to do God’s work allows her to inspire others through her works of art... many motivating and deeply felt songs... she has inspired many individuals of all ages... inspirational book... depicts real life events that everyday individuals can relate to, such as loss, pain, relationships, joy and many other things that the heart enduring in one’s lifetime... This narrative is full of inspiration and holds a powerful message...  &mdash; and there's much, much more in the same vein. It's pure spam, reads like a publicity release, not an encyclopaedia article.
 * Sales pitch: With 3 books available for purchase on Amazon and Barnes & Noble This is an encyclopaedia, not free advertising.
 * It did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references. As a matter of policy, all biographies of living people will be deleted if they do not have references. Although you aded references, they seemed to be to her websites, her publishers, or other self-editable sites.
 * I can't see why she is notable, some YouTube (counts for nothing) and three books, but no indication of the sales figures or the awards she has won tto show that she meets the book notability guidelines.
