Apparently non-notable author, article tagged with notability since december 2007. (Can't find the books mentioned when searching the Library of Congress website, but not sure if everything is available online.) Bjelleklang -  talk 18:40, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. I cleaned up the bibliography a bit. There is a hit at LOC for her, but only for Theology 101. Most (but not all) of her work is vanity or self-published. There is evidence of some significant third-party review. Faustus37 (talk) 00:28, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete All of her books are self-published (WestBow Press is the self-publishing arm of Thomas Nelson). She won a 2011 International Book Award, but that is a "pay to win" award where you pay $70 per category to enter and they have so many categories and sub-categories and runner ups etc.. it's not a big deal to win (marketing scheme for self published authors). She has two professional reviews which is significant, but not enough to establish notability. If someone can find 4 or 5 reviews I might change my position. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 17:53, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per User:Green Cardamom. There is mention of the subject winning the 2008 National Book Awards but it doesn't appear to be these awards, which would be clearly notable, but rather a 2008 INDIE National Book Award, which aim at "the heroes of indie and self-publishing". I'm not seeing enough clearly independent sourcing to meet WP:AUTHOR. AllyD (talk) 21:58, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
