WP:AUTHOR. Requires significant coverage in independent reliable sources to show notability : The first source is just a listing/mention; the second is own website so not independent; The third is a book listing, so the section about the author is unlikely to be independent; The forth is the subjects own answers so again not independent. (note: submission was declined by User:KylieTastic. but it was move to main namespace by author. nothing changed in the meantime). আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 23:14, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Search for significant coverage comes up with nothing meaningful. I don't find any evidence that the article meets WP:AUTHOR or basic notability threshold requiring in-depth coverage from reliable, independent sources. Glendoremus (talk) 00:57, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:GNG and looks largely self-written/self-promotion. Mztourist (talk) 07:38, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete – there is no claim to notability in the article, and I can't find any secondary sources that do more than mention her, so WP:GNG / WP:ANYBIO are not met. --bonadea contributions talk 10:56, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails notability guidelines WP:GNG, WP:AUTHOR, WP:MILPERSON. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Less Unless (talk • contribs) 13:11, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

The page was created regarding Author Linda iLham Barto was not properly cited when first created.The person is well known by her books memories of ha hillybilly muslim. Her writings are published in various muslims magazines in USA. She is also a painter, matarial art instructer, Art teacher and US Air Force veteran. She is recognized by National Association of Professional Women. Her two books are  earlier mentioned in bibliography of books defending Islam.I think this person is notable for wikipedia. There is some lack of informations about her personal life in web, i collected those informations from her book and a interview fron a website cited them now from idependent source. This article is now improved than when created. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shakibim (talk • contribs) 05:32, 19 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Let's have a look at the sources present in the article right now.

I stopped trying to evaluate reliability after a while, because it doesn't matter if a source is reliable when it is not independent... (I guess GBooks can be considered reliable, but a GBooks listing only shows that the book exists, not that it is notable, and the listing is not an independent source.) According to this analysis, GNG is not met even with the newly added sources. --bonadea contributions talk 11:05, 19 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment If I can assist? The 6th source on the assessment list (Hickory Record), is the website of a local newspaper.  The column is an opinion piece written by John LaFontaine.  It has nothing to do with Barto whatsoever, except that she made a public comment in the comments section.  I don't want to violate AGF, but it seems to me that the sourcing editor cast a wide net over a Google search for Barto, and just inserted anything that came up.

 * Comment My original opinion, Delete, still holds. I've reviewed the additional references added recently and there is nothing that changes my mind. Thanks to bonadea for going above and beyond to analyze the references. Glendoremus (talk) 19:25, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - mildly interesting, but we are not a free web-host for those selling autobiographies. Thank you very much for your analysis of the poor sourcing. That saved me from wasting 25 minutes of my life. Bearian (talk) 15:15, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per the source assessment above. Fails WP:GNG. Best, GPL93 (talk) 02:45, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
