I don't see enough exposure for this author or her works to pass WP:CREATIVE.  Ja Ga  talk 05:27, 3 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - Non-notable. Article reads like promotional material.  All the external links and references are either promotionial websites for her books (by herself or by her publisher), or e-zines she publishes in.  Similarly for her Google hits. Puffino (talk) 13:29, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * She does seem good at promotion. However, two of her books are published in the UK by David and Charles, which is a well known publisher and not a purveyor of junk http://www.davidandcharles.co.uk/results.asp?AUB=Christina%20Katz&TAG=&CID= On the whole, I'd go for a Keep conditional on a bit more outside referencing.

 * Keep Author of non-trivial books and article is relatively well-written and sourced. Article doesn't fail any of the inclusion criteria, IMO. §FreeRangeFrog 20:11, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete fails multiple reliable source test. Single source Writer's Digest. Also not listed in Biography & Genealogy Master Index, Contemporary Authors, Dictionary of Literary Biography, or Marquis Who's Who on the Web. Lexis/Nexis found no reviews of her books in major U.S. newspapers.  She does an occasional piece for the Oregonian. Her books are non-trivial, true, they are seriously intended; however, that doesn't provide notability. This definitely seems like a well-written promotional piece. --Bejnar (talk) 08:38, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete nothing to show that she has received significant coverage in reliable independent sources (see WP:BIO). Carlossuarez46 (talk) 21:31, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
