 * – ( View AfD View log )

Does not meet notability requirements of WP:PEOPLE - does not have coverage in reliable third-party sources.  PK T (alk)  22:52, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Deletion Nomination Hello, I don't agree that deletion is necessary. The subject is an established professional in her field, as well as a author. Her contribution to the Scouts Canada is also significant, and can be proven with further references. Instead of deletion, I think an expanding of the references given is better suited. Thanks!

 * Please carefully read WikiPedia's guidelines for notability. Find and reference reliable third-party publications where she has been profiled, and you might make your case. Unfortunately, I doubt such references exist.   PK  T (alk)  23:56, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the information, PKT, I will collect some additional sources to support the notability of the article.Bogdan247 (talk) 00:20, 18 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. This appears to be a vanity entry, with no third-party references used as citations, that is newspapers, journals etc. Those sourced from organisations with which the individual is affiliated are not sufficient. Mind  matrix  00:22, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Lack of third-party RS sources.  The Interior (Talk) 01:43, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

I would like to point out an independent source mentioning the subject: Shroff Publishers & Distributors Pvt. Ltd., a leading academic and information technology publisher in India distributes her popular software testing book along with books from O'Reilly & Associates, Packt Publishing, Mike Murach & Associates, Rampant TechPress, Pragmatic Bookshelf, IBM Redbooks, MC Press, Discovery Press, etc. http://www.shroffpublishers.com/detail.aspx?cat=0&title=2092 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bogdan247 (talk • contribs) 13:19, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete: One of several related articles created by Bogdan247, one which has been PRODded and another up at AfD. Having authored a book does not count as a reliable source attesting to the subject's notability; if so, I'd qualify for an article myself. It is not enough to find items with her name on it; to qualify under the GNG, there must be reliable, third party, independent sources that describe the subject in "significant detail," such as articles in major newspapers or magazines.  I can't find any, myself.    Ravenswing  21:23, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Her one book is out from Trafford, a vanity press.  Fails WP:BK, WP:AUTHOR, and WP:SPS. Qworty (talk) 21:41, 18 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - No significant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. She is the co-author of a self-published book for which I can find not independent reliable critical review. -- Whpq (talk) 14:17, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
