Non-notable author. The bulk of the coverage I've found is blogs and other fluff sites. No significant coverage in reliable sources. Lugia2453 (talk) 20:24, 16 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I have added sources to the page. She is a notable author with several thousand fans. Goldberg McDuffie (talk) 16:29, 16 July 2013 (EST)


 * Delete per nom. Any claim to notability would be for the book, rather than the author, and the references provided thus far are press releases. 76.248.144.216 (talk) 20:33, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Question I'm curious as to why the time stamp for Goldberg McDuffie's comment above predates this AfD discussion. 76.248.144.216 (talk) 20:42, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Answer The time zone is different. Goldberg McDuffie (Goldberg McDuffie 15:54, 16 July 2013 (EST)


 * I believe the book to be notable, however if you think more references are needed, please let me know what you'd like and I will supply. Goldberg McDuffie (talk) 16:56, 16 July 2013 (EST)
 * Delete The book is not even in worldCat, and is apparently self-published. I would probably have deleted this as speedy a7 because a self published book is not a credible claim to importance.  DGG ( talk ) 05:40, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete: First, if DGG is supporting deletion, that's a strong reason for anyone too. As an experienced librarian, his given evidence for non-notability, as it is for any book-related AfD where he votes delete, is solid and impossible to argue with. Second, I am about to block Goldberg McDuffie anyway for a username-policy violation, which almost always means a delete vote for me in any ongoing related AfD. Sorry, I know you meant well, but unfortunately you just wasted your client's time. Daniel Case (talk) 15:15, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
