Alicia Cook (writer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Doesn't meet WP:AUTHOR. Cook's (mostly self-published) works do not appear to be "significant or notable", and Cook has not received "significant critical attention". The cited sources demonstrate that (a) Cook was featured in one episode of a locally produced series that runs on public television affiliates viewable in northern New Jersey and regions of surrounding states, (b) she was quoted briefly in a USA Today article about beach town storm damage from Hurricane Sandy, and (c) she was one of a host of people who won a regional public television station's "Everyday Hero" awards for helping folks with addictions. She has otherwise only contributed to and/or been mentioned in the Huffington Post, some other blogs, and regional newspapers. Laudable, but not notable enough for a Wikipedia article.

 * Delete Wikipedia is not news, let alone the place to create background articles on everyone quoted as a person on the street in major news publications.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:03, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete this writer who wrote an op-ed in a local paper, privately published two books at a vanity press, and blogged a few times at Huffington Post. Please explain to me how, even if it's all true, how this person is not run of the mill? Bearian (talk) 02:08, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
