The article fails WP:V and appears to be a hoax created by a known sock-puppeteer to attract traffic to charlotteannarigel.com. There is no evidence that anyone authored the listed works under this name. Speedy rejected so raising for wider discussion as recommended. Fæ (talk) 17:05, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - I declined the speedy deletion request, and I know nothing of the alleged sockpuppeting (do we need an SPI?). However, Worldcat returns zero results on a search for her name. At best, she is non-notable. Lady  of  Shalott  17:11, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * See the block notice on the article creator's talk page User talk:Delta85 or go directly to the closed SPI case at Sockpuppet investigations/Delta85. Fæ (talk) 17:13, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks! That does clarify things. Lady  of  Shalott  17:16, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - I wasn't sure if speedy-deletion would work. I came across this because it was linked from the Third Crusade article, because Rigel supposedly coauthored the "Chronicle of the Third Crusade", which (if it is the work that I know) is patently untrue. Then I couldn't find her name in any of the other works listed in the article or on her website, and the bits that were in English were terrible, which made it hard to believe she was a biographer of English WWII veterans.

 * Delete I did some rather extensive checking yesterday the the European library catalogs and book dealer listings, including the available Danish catalogs. She does exist. She is a writer. The most I can find she has written is a preface to a book, probably some small chapters in biographical works, and possible a few short stories. Not a hoax, but not remotely  notable.   I think a SNOW delete is in order.   DGG ( talk ) 06:13, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I find it odd that the bibliography appears fabricated when the real person exists. This could conceivably be a form of subtle personal attack but I could see nothing in the original text which included a number of unsourced personal details (here) that would make this clear, however I suggest caution if only because the motivation for adding apparently spurious information is unknown.

 * not exactly fabricated; she may have made minor contributions to the works listed.   DGG ( talk ) 00:54, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * That is curious. It could be some sort of strange attack-BLP by trying to make the person look bad. Whatever the reason, a fake bibliography is most certainly not something we need here. Lady  of  Shalott  21:37, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
