 * Keep: She has won numerous awards, self-published one book and had iUniverse publish the other and it was sold on Amazon.com, began her own non-profit organization and wrote in numerous other articles and books. That gives much notability. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Beatlesnature (talk • contribs) 15:11, July 26, 2009

 * Neutral, though I'm disturbed at the idea that self-publishing a couple of books and getting them on Amazon is an indicator of notability. Someone recently pointed out a scam wherein they might arrange to have some PDFs printed by Lulu.com and sold through Amazon in order to call themselves a "published author" on their CV.  Reviews, independent sourcing, evidence the works have sold in some volume.  Arguably, merely having a column (regular or otherwise) is not in and of itself notable (though often the work they have done to earn it is).  81.111.114.131 (talk) 23:18, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
