Subject doesnt appear to met WP:AUTHOR, and book 'Stay Hungry' not in WorldCat. John Vandenberg (chat) 13:38, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Article misrepresents the references. The reason Stay Hungry is not found in the library is because she hasn't finished writing it yet. Her only claim to fame is having an essay selected for an anthology, and winning a contest where the prize was to be a speaker at a conference. Not enough information on her - yet. All I am finding are blogs, etc. Once her book is published, she may become notible then, but I don't believe she is at this time. Turlo Lomon (talk) 17:39, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete She may achieve notability (as Wikipedia defines it) at some point, but she doesn't have it yet. She was a speaker at TED, she's had essays published in a few places (for example an essay in Salon plus a followup abouat the comments that essay received), that's about it. Maybe after her book comes out she will pass WP:N, but Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. --MelanieN (talk) 21:01, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
