Not notable enough. --Philip Stevens (talk) 19:02, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep - "Not notable enough" is not a very enthusiastic afd. WP:BIO says A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.  At this writing I see 22 third party references in the article itself.  She helped her son write a bestselling book and she is discussed in the book.  You have to be living under a rock to think that she is not being discussed almost daily given Obama's mixed parentage.Americasroof (talk) 19:36, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
