 * merge into an article on the author.  As I said on my talk p. (I was asked about this a few hours ago, since she is writing articles for many of her books): As a practical matter, she is perhaps notable as an author, since two of her books are in many  but not all of the major French university libraries, so an article on her and a merge seems reasonable. There's even an English language source about her, . Worldcat & the   French university Union Catalog, sudoc,   give only 5 holdings-- the   superlative German-based international union catalog, Karlsruhe Virtual Catalog KVK,  adds only one or two.   I think however a thorough search would probably find reviews of the book--I think a thorough search would find reviews of essentially all academic books from major publishers, and if we took BOOKS literally every notable author would have some or all of their books separately notable, as would many non-notable authors. (To summarize my view of that guideline: books, as well as sports and popular entertainment, are among the things over-covered by the press, especially the coverage of academic books by academic journals,  and so the GNG for these subjects is way too broad. To the extent Wikipedia:Notability (books) incorporates it as criterion 1, it is way too broad.)    I am therefore not going to do such a search for this article, as I do not think the book or her other books appropriate for a Wikipedia article. I can't search for every Wikipedia article , so I work if I can on those things most likely to be notable in some real sense.    DGG ( talk ) 02:59, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. This is part of a series of articles being introduced by the same editor all promoting what appear to be non-notable books per WP:NBOOK and WP:GNG.  ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 15:40, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
