Subject appears to fail WP:Author. Plenty of press-agent arranged appearances promoting her books but no in-depth coverage on her or anything else that would satisfy WP:Author. Findsources turns up only promotional appearances.

Note that this article was created by a now-blocked corporate account for what appears to be her publicist. Toddst1 (talk) 23:12, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Her books have been the subject of "multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" so she meets WP:AUTHOR. Her biography of Madeleine Albright, for example, was reviewed by Salon.com, The Economist, The Washington Times, and hidden behind pay walls, the Denver Post, the Fresno Bee and the Dayton Daily News.  She has been a nationally published journalist for over 40 years.  The solution to shortcomings in an article about a notable person is to improve the article, not delete it.
