Article about an author/illustrator that has been unsourced since 2010. Though it says her book, Bertie, has been widely acclaimed I can't see a shred of evidence anywhere to support this claim. I can't even find a website for her or an online CV. Lacks proof, let alone notability. Sionk (talk) 00:31, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Then we should speedily delete it. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 08:08, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Because the article makes a claim of notability (even though it's unproven) I don't think it meets any SD criteria. There's a slim possibility of non-internet coverage for a 1996 book, but I remain very sceptical. Sionk (talk) 12:14, 19 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete In point of fact the article is not entirely unreferenced, although the refs don't show as they are inlines. However all these prove that the claims to have illustrated the titles are valid. The National Library of Australia has [28 hits], some of which are duplicates. Does not seem to be a huge body of work, and can find no reliable third-party references. I know that children's book illustrators don't get a lot of attention in general, but I can't see that this one is in any way notable.TheLongTone (talk) 13:41, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - her most acclaimed book is in 43 libraries on World Cat. Bearian (talk) 21:56, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete per everybody. No notability beyond simply existing and doing a job. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  17:20, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete, no reflection on her talent or ability, but I'm not seeing how she meets any of the notability criteria for creative professionals. Lankiveil (speak to me) 01:48, 24 May 2014 (UTC).
