does not meet notability criteria. see WP:CREATIVE Dlabtot (talk) 02:12, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per and notices in Publisher's Weekly. Minimally notable. JJL (talk) 02:43, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * No one is disputing the fact that Heather Sharfeddin authored some books which are for sale on Amazon. However, that is not a valid notability criteria according to WP:CREATIVE. Dlabtot (talk) 15:52, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - Keep – Regretfully - Based on the fact that I did find some very glowing reviews on several of her books and a few in-depth interviews from reliable  - creditable – 3rd party sources, as shown here . Which, for me makes the author acceptable  under  notability inclusion for authors.  Likewise, I hope that her next book, scheduled for 2009 will make the best sellers list and we will read about Ms. Sharfeddin, here on Wikipedia.  Best of luck to her.

 * I followed your link, but I couldn't find the " in-depth interviews from reliable - creditable – 3rd party sources " that you refer to - no doubt my mistake.  Perhaps you could help out and add them to the article. BTW, re your edit summary, this is not a vote. Dlabtot (talk) 01:32, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Reply - The Capital Press interview and Reed Business Information piece are articles  about the author, more so than the book.  I know they are pay sites, so most editors do not have access.  However, in the synopsis of the pieces, you can gather the tone of the article.  Regarding vote versus opinion (in my edit summary), you are absolutely right and I misspoke.  I give you full permission to Slap me with a wet trout. ShoesssS Talk 01:48, 4 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak keep I see some notability here, not much (per our guidelines), but some. The review suggests she's staking out new ground in a western themed genre, and she's had a couple of books. I lean towards keeping the author as I think it helps the encyclopedia. ChildofMidnight (talk) 23:38, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
