Article does not meet notability guidelines. While you can find Kruger's works on Amazon, they appear to be solely self-published. The references offered within the article fail WP:RS or WP:INDY, and I haven't been able to find usable citations for the two magazine article claims. &mdash; Scientizzle 21:04, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree, unless a notable source can be found this article should be deleted. Karl 334   ☞ TALK to ME ☜  21:27, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

The article in question can be found on her blog adiscoveryofvampires.blogspot.com and her publisher according to her good reads is fifth avenue. Also her book reconciliation is in the top 40 on amazon.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tristanbunton (talk • contribs) 21:37, 27 April 2011 (UTC)  — Tristanbunton (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete does not qualify for speedy deletion. but clearly does not satisfy notability criteria. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 21:31, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - Google search turns up nothing significant. Search of YOU magazine yields no articles. Notability has not been established.  Sea photo Talk  21:32, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - 5th Avenue Press is a self publisher, the Amazon rank is a bit misleading as it refers to an edition given away for free (which by definition is not bestselling); the paid version is ranked #282,783 overall. This is not to disparage the author, who is just starting her career; she may become notable at some point, just not there yet. Sea photo Talk  22:41, 27 April 2011 (UTC)


 * you cannot give away free copies on amazon.com ! Sorry but you obviously have no idea how amazon works. She may be self published but I have also noticed that she has another book la paquet in the top 100 while I was doing some research. Amazon.com only allows the free option from expanded distributions aka published by big houses . I also did a quick check of the external links they all look legit and she seems quit popular . I find most of these deletion articles sad, simply because it's done from a malicious point of view I've had this discussion a hundred times with people on wikipedia. James Franco's page was deleted and I almost fell on my face . I just don't get why some people choose to delete articles when there are heaps of referals. -Tristan —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tristanbunton (talk • contribs)
 * I stand corrected, while her download is # 282,783 overall, it is # 32 in playwrighting. It is indeed not free, selling for .99 cents.  Sea photo Talk  00:16, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * As far as I can tell, there's been no serious attempt at deleting the James Franco article...I have no idea what Tristan is on about there. As for the external links, they all fail WP:RS (many are Kruger's own blogs) and/or WP:INDY. Without quality, dedicated, independent coverage, Ms. Kruger does not pass our notability guidelines. &mdash; Scientizzle 12:43, 28 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:GNG without any significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Nimuaq (talk) 00:14, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

The bestselling book in question is definitely not free and in the top 100 please check here http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/digital-text/154712011/ref=pd_zg_hrsr_kinc_1_6_last and here there are two books in the top 100 http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/digital-text/154712011/ref=pd_zg_hrsr_kinc_1_6_last#2 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tristanbunton (talk • contribs)
