 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable author of  self-published books--see the Amazon listing   WorldCat shows zero libraries holding one of the books .; the others are not even in WorldCat. The WP article was written by the author's son--see the talk p.  The article has been here for 7 years, quite unnoticed. I'd like to think we'd do better nowadays.

 * Strong Delete. Self-sourced, clearly promotional article on non-notable novelist, created by herself or by a relative by her son. SunChaser (talk) 08:19, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete: A WP:COI article on a self-published writer, without evidence of notability. AllyD (talk) 08:47, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Can't find a single reliable source, and given the Amazon links I'm inclined to say this article is an attempt at a revenue stream more than anything else. A couple interviews with a blog and Goodreads isn't enough to meet GNG/NAUTHOR. ~  Amory  (u • t • c) 10:02, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination, as lacking notability. This is clearly a promotional piece. -The Gnome (talk) 12:15, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - there's only one reliable source, which is not enough to show notability. Bearian (talk) 01:23, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
