The subject plainly fails the notability criteria for authors. Slashme (talk) 19:47, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Note: the unencyclopedic tone and poor content of the article are not relevant to this deletion discussion, and are fixable, but anybody proposing to keep this article should explain how the subject meets any of the criteria at WP:AUTHOR. --Slashme (talk) 19:50, 10 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep She's included in v.224 of the Gale compendium Contemporary Authors . Such coverage shows notability -- it's the standard encyclopedic reference in the subject, and one of our basic principles is that we  include everyone with an article in such reference works. Looking at the worldcat author page, at least 13 of her books are in over 200 libraries each,  and     some have been translated into Spanish, Afrikaans, and French. As for independent secondary sources, s Google News shows reviews in Detroit Free Press and other newspapers. Additionally, Her web p. has a number of awards, though most of them are specialized or minor & her works have been published by recognized publishers.   DGG ( talk ) 01:23, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, you make a solid case. I'd be happy with a speedy keep as submitter based on that reasoning. --Slashme (talk) 13:46, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
