WP:BLP of a writer with no strong claim to passing WP:AUTHOR. The article makes no substantive claim of non-local notability anywhere outside of the small town where she lives, and the article is cited exclusively to her books' sales pages on an online bookstore and to the front splash pages of the local community weekly newspapers in her own hometown rather than to any content about her in either of the newspapers. Further, I just did a ProQuest search and found that she gets just four hits in "Canadian Newsstand Major Dailies" — and she was the bylined author, not the subject, of every single one of them. Simply put, she simply does not have enough independent media coverage to get over WP:GNG. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 22:47, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete I'm just not finding notability. For example, she lists material published with "Brian Wrixon Books", but this publisher lacks notability, even lacks a website, merely has a Facebook page   on which he self-describes as: "A private not-for-profit Canadian publisher registered with Library and Archives Canada."  This sort of  publisher is no indicaiton of notability, nor can I find anything else indicating that Figueroa is a notable poet, although she may very well be a good one.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:35, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
