Elza Maalouf

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

author of one non-notable book; extremely promotional article. The many references are either press releases or mere mentions.  DGG ( talk ) 17:11, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - the promo aspect can be cut out, but I had trouble finding any impressive looking reviews of the book. She is all over the web at seminars and such, though, so I don't feel comfortable voting as is, since there may be reputable publications/organizations that feature her that I'm just not familiar with. Would be easier if the page poster had formatted the references better. Earflaps (talk) 18:58, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Of the overly many references on this page, I don't find any that are about the person, and of the ones I checked at most I found mentions of her, and in some she was not mentioned at all. Other references are to blog posts, or to promotional sources like Instant Teleseminar which seems to be a form of webinar self-publishing. Her book, from 2014, shows as held in all of 8 libraries in WorldCat, which means that it is a quite minor publication. LaMona (talk) 22:25, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - A fine example of ref bombing. I did not go through all the references, but checked only those that looked like there might be some substance.  There wasn't.  I skipped references such as the home page of the University of Virginia.  If I was mistaken and there is indeed significant coverage about Elza Maalouf on the home page of this, or any of the other various home pages in this list of spurious references, then please let me know and I shall go through all 58 references in detail. -- Whpq (talk) 19:37, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
