The article has two assertions of notability. The first is a Commonwealth Press Union Fellowship, which does not seem to be a very notable and high profile award (Google news did not return any coverage of this award in newspapers). The other assertion is that she wrote a bestseller, but looking at Amazon.ca and Amazon.com shows not only a very low sales rank (although that could be explained by that the book was published in 2002) but also only one review. Surely a bestseller should have generated more reviews by readers. Googling her name shows only her own articles (and only a few), and no coverage about her.

 * Delete An Canadian author with a book in only 2 Canadian libraries (a/c Worldcat, which does cover Canadian libraries moderately well, though not completely) has not written a bestseller. A statement of best seller status not verifiable by references, reviews, sales information, or libraries holdings tends to induce in me a feeling of general disbelief. DiversityCanada may or may not be notable, but not enough so that she's notable for being the director. DGG (talk) 01:04, 17 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - No soruces to establish notability. Note that the her book Journey to Joy which is being claimed a bestseller in the article is published through Damascus Press which accordinf to their website "is a Canadian media company owned by the Sankar family."  So it appears the book is self-published. -- Whpq (talk) 15:27, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
