Non-notable individual. All of these books are print-on-demand, and while the article looks like it has a decent amount of references, there are only two that aren't inadmissible (press releases, blog posts, mere attestation of existence/trivial passing mention) and they are super local and super short. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 16:05, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete I checked three references that appeared to be from the most Reliable Sources; they barely mentioned her, and they did not confirm or even mention the facts they were cited as supporting. For example, the claim that she produced one of her plays at the Globe Playhouse in Los Angeles was cited to three references, but none of them mentioned that play or the Globe Playhouse. (I deleted that claim.) Based on that, not only is notability lacking, but IMO much of the article is of doubtful verification. --MelanieN (talk) 00:06, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Thinly-sourced BLPs that hide this deficiency in a plethora of citations are extremely problematic. This should be sent to /dev/null. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 23:04, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
