Blatant self-promotion. Is she notable? Sgroupace (talk) 09:50, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: self promotion of author, showing obvious conflict of interest. Alexius08 is welcome to talk about his contributions. 11:28, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Does not pass WP:BIO. I am seeing very little evidence of substantial coverage by independent reliable sources. Only 3 hits in googlenews (2 of which may be false positives) and very little in googlebooks. Her books do not seem to widely held by libraries. WorldCat search shows U.S. holdings of only one of her books, and only in 3 libraries. Plus WP:AUTO and WP:COI issues here, so all in all, delete. Nsk92 (talk) 16:40, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
