Nonnotable author... Existence of a book on Amazon doesn't demonstrate notability for the book or author. Worldcat search for both titles shows extremely small number of libraries that stock the book. I only saw nine for the first one and three for the second one. and WP:NB threshol rules state a bare minimum of 12 are necessary to even be worth considering to see if it meets other more stringent criteria.

 * I might be mixing her up with some other celebrity by the same name, but Google seems to spit stuff out in German and Swedish. We should have people with the proper language skills look at those sources. - Mgm|(talk) 08:40, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Google search appears to show that aside from being author article subject is engaged or receives heavy press coverage as romantically linked to Danish royal family. Some suggestions that book(s) may be notable as well. But that needs capable translator to report as per MgM above. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 23:06, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Some of the German sources provide substantial coverage of the subject as an author, e.g., and her relationship with Prince Gustav seems to get plenty of coverage in the gossip columns. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:52, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:AUTHOR. Articles which appear are gossipy magazine and weblogs, wordpress, blogspot; unverified, highly speculative.  Most contain inaccurate (or press-release) information, little better than US tabloid-style supermarket publications.  Her relationship with a minor German princeling (mediastized House) and *his* distant relationship to Danish royalty appears to be sole reason for her appearance in Swedish and German "pink press" publications.  Could combine with his Web page, but fails on any notability on her own merits.  Being a girlfriend isn't notable, and Living people sections need a bit more substance to them.  Better as a fan page on a blog somewhere. PR (talk) 01:42, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - Although she is not widely known in the United States, she is very notable as the controversial member of the Danish Royal family as a result of her common-law relationship with the Danish Royal Prince. This information has been repeatedly removed from the article by an editor with a clear COI who calls himself ProperlyRaised. She is also notable for her series of children's books which have been widely published in several languages. Many Danish language 3rd party independent refrenences exist. She also is regularly featured in gossip and other such low-quality magazines, but then what major international celebrity isn't? Unionsoap (talk) 00:29, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Books translated into multiple languages are usually an indication of notability. That a Danish children's book isnt held in the US & Canada is not an sign on non-notability--a low worldCat result is irrelevant here. She also seems to be notable in other respects. Anyway, if one goes by the GNG, there are sufficient references, and that they are not in English does not detract from them. DGG (talk) 20:28, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
