The result was delete. Seems to be more about the author than the book itself. The notability of the author may be arguble, but that's another story. Sr13 05:48, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Notability; I can see no asertion that this book is any different from any of countless others on similar subjects. Blood Red Sandman (Talk)   (Contribs) 11:12, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. Gail Grabowsky is a professor at Chaminade University. This is her only book. Insufficient notability IMO.--Targeman 18:36, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Per not meeting the required notability. ♠  TomasBat   23:24, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - In Hawaii, Dr. Grabowsky is an environmentalist of renown and this book is unique in that it addresses issues specific to Hawaii fragile environment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.122.22.9 (talk • contribs)

 * Keep - Dr. Grabowsky is an environmentalist of renown. She has appeared on television both in Hawaii and nationally.  Her book has been the subject of articles by at least three publications both paper and digital. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.130.246.111 (talk • contribs)

 * Comment - I've been on TV and in the paper, too. That in itself doesn't make me notable. Nothing I can find on Google hints at Ms Grabowsky's fame. I'm sure she's a good specialist but I think you need to be more than that to be on Wikipedia. Just my 2 cents--Targeman 22:34, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - Targeman,REREAD Wikipedia guidelines for notability and do some real research please, Possibly starting with the links on this listing. You are on Wikipedia and your credentials don't cmpare with Dr. Grabowsky's: PhD, star of a PBS documentary that also featured Kealii Reichel, member of the Hawaii State Environemntal Council (appointed by two different Gov's), regularly consulted by the media for information as an expert in Hawaiian Environemntal issues, NW Hawaiian Island National Monument Committee member, author of this amazing book (endorsed by Malama Hawaii), 5 time Waikiki Double Rough Water champion, winner of over 30 gold medals for paddling (World Sprints and Hawaii State championship), host of the UH TV series, "Topic Hawaii",    It goes on and on!!!  This person gives her heart and soul for Hawaii; out of a deep love for the place and the Hawaiian people.
 * Comment. I have never questioned Dr Grabowsky's credentials. You seem to be well informed about her, so please "do some real research" because you're the one who's writing the article. And there's no need to get emotional, either. Erasing my credentials from my user page is a truly childish reaction. And please sign your comments.--Targeman 13:10, 13 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. She has written a book and appears to have been a resource in the media seems to be of some value to those of us who know nothing about her. --Storm Rider (talk) 04:45, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
