Proposed deletion of Rebecca Johns


The article Rebecca Johns has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No notability established, and barely even asserted. No reliable sources showing non-trivial coverage to demonstrate notability per Wikipedia's standards.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Update
Thanks for changing those links on the article. I checked to see how many copies of her books were found in libraries, and she certainly had a lot more than many of the small-press or self-published authors we see try to get articles here sometimes, so I won't be moving forward with any efforts to delete it. There probably should be more reliable sources added -- the high school paper doesn't help any. Were there any reviews of the books printed anywhere notable, like mainstream newspapers of large cities, etc.? DreamGuy (talk) 17:45, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
