Non-notable author of a single book that has not yet been released (according the author's own spec sheet). Article likely violates WP:BLP by relying extensively on primary sources and by stating facts not verified by said sources. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:41, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. I'll see what I can do. Wow... that's a lot of puffery going on there to clean out. It almost, almost could be speedied for being so blatantly promotional.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 18:05, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is pretty much a prime example of what is most likely someone coming onto Wikipedia to create a promotional page for themselves. Given the lack of any hits coming up to give her notability and that the page here resorts to using Amazon and genealogy websites to source parts of the article (and that there's far more here than is actually stated in the sources), this is pretty obviously something that should be speedied for being blatant promotion. If by some strange chance it doesn't get speedied, my vote is for delete. There's no notability here and I highly recommend that the original editor read through WP:COI before attempting to re-add this page to Wikipedia.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 18:32, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
 * There were bits that taken directly from the AuthorBiography.pdf that I've removed as copyvio. It seems likely other bits of the article are also copyvio, too.  Unless I've misunderstood something, large parts of the bio are cited to a talk at a church, which is odd for an WP:AUTO.  Delete as per Tokyogirl79's reasoning.
