--Hi- this is Donna- I didn't know that putting something up would cause so much search for me! I'd like to address that the "seven-year-old" website was a site I made when I was 18- didn't even know it was still ingering around. I am a freelance writer with many publication credits, but if the Wiki community feels my book does not make me worthy yet to have an article, feel free to delete it. I didn't know there'd be so much research done about me! Did you find out yet that I was a TLC reality show last year? Thanks for your interest in me and at least looking into me a little more before deleteing. When my second book comes out, perhaps you can repost something about me. (The sales rank continues to change- it was once in the 70,000s)

Some disputes over whether it should be deleted or not and it has been an awful state for quite a while now. J.J.Sagnella 22:08, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Neither disputes nor awfulness are apparent from the article, and bad quality is grounds for rewrite, not delete. Procedural keep for lack of valid reasons given to delete. (I find it too boring to hunt down the notability of authors via Amazon voodoo...) Sandstein 22:29, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:VANITY (created article) and seemingly nn. The first book was a recent ebook, recently (self?)published (paperback shows up on abebooks), the other is an ebook only http://www.absolutewrite.com/freelance_writing/email_interviews.htm .  She evidently also tried to sell the naming rights to a character in a future novel on ebay: http://ca.prweb.com/releases/2005/12/prweb324578.htm Other coverage (student newspaper): http://www.wilkesbeacon.com/user/index.cfm?event=displayAuthorProfile&authorid=1943378 Seven-years-out-of-date website: http://www.geocities.com/Nashville/Stage/3464/ Schizombie 23:08, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Vanity. Amazon.com Sales Rank: #474,085 in Books    Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  23:51, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. No proof of notability -- in fact, having to publish using e-books argues against it. --Calton | Talk 06:05, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

--Just to clarify-- I didn't publish using an ebook- I was hired to write a book in a career ebook series. (donnatalarico)
