Laura J. Dahl

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Looks extremely borderline in terms of notability, and given the article creator's name and the vaguely advertorial quality of the piece, I have to wonder whether there has been some over-egging of the notability (such things as the "countless art" donated to various redlinked organisations), and the only two blue-links on the article (other than the towns etc) are not to the expected items - there are no articles on the Heaven Sent or Forget Me Not referred to in the article. The linked website does little to stave off those concerns, and a websearch of "Laura Dahl" - Wikipedia and "Laura J. Dahl" - Wikipedia turns up almost nothing related to this Laura Dahl. Grutness...wha?  00:41, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Cleanup but keep. Somewhat notable. 00:46, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Probable delete. The article was written by an author who shares a name with the subject and has not edited anything else. It looks like a autobiography/vanity article. It needs solid independent references before any notability claim can be taken seriously. --DanielRigal (talk) 00:56, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete. No notability whatsoever.  Nothing but self-indulgent self-promoting spam.  Nuke it. Qworty (talk) 01:15, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:Notability, seems to be a case of WP:Autobiography. --Patar knight - chat/contributions 02:04, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete not notably. Atyndall93  |  talk  04:49, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete to save subject of BLP from acute embarrassment. I'm going to edit most of the really awful crap out for now. It would be nice to get this deleted sooner rather than later.  I suppose these things must run their course.  --Blechnic (talk) 21:51, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete - clearly fails WP:NOTE. -- Shruti14 t c s 23:09, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
