Non-notable person - article also does not claim notability. None of those books have articles. All references are WP:PRIMARY, article also reads a bit promotional. Cyan  Gardevoir  (used EDIT!) 06:49, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. Article does claim notability: it claims she is "a leading national expert on the United States Intelligence Community and national security policy". Maybe that wording does read as 'a bit promotional', but that can easily be fixed. Much of the substance of the articles is verified by her biography in the New York Times, which surely qualifies as an independent reliable source. Google Scholar also finds enough reviews of her books in academic journals to meet WP:AUTHOR criterion 3. Qwfp (talk) 20:19, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep -- how is being a professor at UCLA, a Fellow of the Hoover Institute, and someone quoted by the NYTimes and the Washington Post not a claim of notability? Far above the average for a researcher with seven reviews of her books in peer-reviewed journals. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 03:24, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep- Non-notability your bullbeep, apparently, the user and the agreeable user here believe the person has already sourced the notable facts about the article and the ongoing need of Yahoo, book, and news reviews.--GoShow (...............) 03:40, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
