Brenda Barrie and The Binding
Proposed for deletion by with the edit summary "This appears to be primarily self-promotion with little value as a Wikipedia entry." Deprodded by me; Rbanzai latter added the afd1 template to the article but didn't complete the rest of the process, so I'm finishing it for him. Brenda Barrie is an author with a published novel, The Binding (2005, RockWay Press, low Amazon sales rank, but stocked by Amazon itself, not an affiliate). She has also published a collection of poetry, ''Full Speed. Full Stop'' in 2003, also from RockWay press, which I couldn't find on Amazon. RockWay press is not a vanity publisher, I checked. Her official website includes a "reviews and comments" section, but no reviewers give affiliations with press. The damning stroke for me is, which lists the WP articles on her and her novel on her own web page: apparently, these are here for promotion. I say delete Mango juice talk 17:05, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment, I just added The Binding to this AfD as well; clearly they should both go if either one goes. Mango juice talk 17:08, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete She doesn't seem particularly notable, but I don't think the page is as advertise-y as some others might believe. But either way, she's not really worthy of a WP article. -- Kicking222 21:03, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete both per WP:BLP, unless we see some proof of the books having circulation of over 5000. Stifle (talk) 23:11, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
