 * Delete Laura Kelley does not meet our notability guidelines. Her main claim to fame appears to be that she has contributed to several articles for the American Enterprise Institute and other organizations and has self-published (with iUniverse) a cookbook. None of this constitutes notability. None of the cited references (other than personal blogs and her own web site) talk about her as an expert or as an authority. She has no papers in scientific journals (or even articles in magazines like Harper's or Scientific American). Several of the papers pointed to by the article as written by her don't even mention her as an author. The only book she has written is self-published, and the cited reviews are on non-notable blogs. This is well below the threshold for notability. It is also not a good sign that most of the content on the page comes from a single editor who has edited no other articles. The article has been up for several months; in response to a PROD, the editor added several external references which don't establish notability. --macrakis (talk) 19:37, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I see that she has co-authored an article for Foreign Policy magazine. But one published article does not make her notable. --macrakis (talk) 04:19, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
