I'm contesting a prod. It said that she doesn't meet WP:BIO, but she wrote two books with a notable publisher (notable if you compare that to musicians) and the listed awards make me think deleting this is far from non-controversial. The lack of reliable sources could be a bad choice by the author of the article. Deserves some eyes. Neutral Mgm|(talk) 23:00, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

 * commentThe proper way to contest a prod is to simply remove it and state why on the talk page. I think there is a posibility that the subject has notability, but that has to be proven using outside sources. Publishing books, however, does not give notability. Please see WP:notability and find one aspect of the criteria that the subject meets, then argue for it on the talk page. Mrathel (talk) 19:02, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep (per nom, I suppose). WP:CREATIVE is the relevant guideline, and it's at least arguable that she has "multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" and/or "significant critical attention", if the "reviews" page on her website is accurate.  Certainly a lot closer to the line than most authors on AfD. Tevildo (talk) 01:12, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Not a very good article but she seems to have attracted some notice for her books. Borock (talk) 02:21, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep--I'll go with it, MGM, but there's a lot to be cut in that article. Right now I'm trying to verify that Golden Gateway (doesn't seem very notable anyway) and can find no evidence--I'll let them stand but tagged. But I'll accept the notability of the person, given the suspicion that there might have been awards? Eh...who wrote this? Drmies (talk) 04:03, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
