Not notable. The subject fails the general notability criterion, the only Google hit relating to her (not other Diane Austins) is a self-published source, no Google news hits, and noting in Google books. Now according to Notability (academics) (highlighting relevant criterion): 1: Unable to find evidence of this; Google scholar turns up a few article co-written by Austin, with more being written by another "Diane Austin" 2: Not covered in article, would have showed up on Google 3: Same as above 8: Article says subject has been "instrumental in developing the field of vocal psychotherapy". If this field is still being developed, there wouldn't be any "major well-established journal"s Mm40 (talk) 22:04, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Her work seems to have had little impact – fails WP:PROF #1. Cannot find any papers in WoS and a vanilla GS search only show results from a notable medical researcher in Wisconsin who coincidentally has the same name. WorldCat shows that her book is not widely held in libraries (only about 70). Google searches for claims on techniques she invented are similarly unimpressive. For example, free associative singing shows top hits that are either from this WP page or from the subject herself, implying there has been little to no "uptake" of this concept by the wider community.
