Not notable person. The creator is a single purpose account that has created only this article, edited it for two separate days and has never edited Wikipedia again for several years. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Kelvin_Road Whiskeymouth (talk) 03:55, 27 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep. Even beyond her 25 years as a journalist for all kinds of major publications including regularly for the New York Times, there are many many interviews about, and reviews of, her book Better by Mistake, in high-profile reliable sources. Softlavender (talk) 06:11, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep She has been a journalist for long enough that a lot of her work has received some mention elsewhere: see . No specific item is enough by itself, but taken as a whole, I think it makes her a notable journalist. SPA or otherwise, there are no POV issues with the article.

 * Speedy keep. Published, known, mentioned numerous times over the years in very reliable sources.  Meets WP:GNG.  -- WV ● ✉ ✓  18:09, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

 * WV and Softlavender are well known as working together to follow and stalk me. That is too bad. WV has even been blocked 10 times for bad behavior. I would not value their comments at all. As for notability, this person is less notable than many university professors, who author journal articles, yet a professor is deemed not notable unless they are a chair or a faculty member known to the general public. Also an actor with similar credentials would easily be deemed not notable. This author has no famous awards, just two books. I wouldn't be surprised if the creator of the article is the author herself, who created the article, edited nothing else, and left. Whiskeymouth (talk) 02:53, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Whiskeymouth, there is absolutely no need to bring up Winkelvi block log up here and saying "I would not value their comments at all" borders on incivility. Comment on their points, not the editors. --Neil N  talk to me 03:15, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep This article could use some cleaning up but there does seem be coverage of her and her work in significant sources, and I've just added one more (CBS Moneywatch).Innisfree987 (talk) 22:38, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
