I doubt notability. Her one book has only 60 library holdings in worldCat. She has written articles, mostly in non-peer reviewed newsletters, given lectures, and appeared on Oprah. None of this amounts to notability as an expert. As for GNG, I see no 3rd party sources.  DGG ( talk ) 23:08, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

I disagree. Would you consider a journalist who only publishes articles not notable because they haven't published any books? I think not. I think her oeuvre qualifies her for an entry, especially given the organizations with whom she's worked and the special nature of the topic she addresses. Appearing on "Oprah" is a plus, not a minus because that show had a high bar to appear as a qualified expert; those producers didn't just taken anyone off the street to pontificate. Finally, I've added some third-party sources. I will continue researching to add more. deadlinedd —Preceding undated comment added 01:17, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

I have addressed the peer-review, third-party sourcing issue. The article should stand as a result. Deadlinedd —Preceding undated comment added 21:29, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete per the policies in WP:AUTHOR and WP:BK. Qworty (talk) 19:29, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Fact remains that being published, appearing on Oprah, etc. don't confer notability. EEng (talk) 03:40, 5 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Commentary. Eleven sources proffered, yet not a single one is ABOUT her.  Notability for biographies is based on secondary sources that are actually about the subject.  There's nothing like that here. Qworty (talk) 18:14, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR for lack of significant coverage about her. Seven of the eleven references are written by her. She gets a passing mention in the New York Daily News, but I couldn't find anything else. And being interviewed is not the same as having people write ABOUT you. Fails WP:ACADEMIC because her books and articles are almost completely uncited by others in the field. --MelanieN (talk) 22:27, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
