Mary Kelly (author)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Promotional article abou self-published author ; very minor notability if any. One of the many articles from an apparently admitted paid editor.  DGG ( talk ) 17:39, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. It's difficult to really say whether she's notable or not, as there isn't really a lot to go on, and her name is kind of generic.  However, she does not seem to be the subject of the majority of "Mary Kelly" hits that I saw on Google News.  Trying to narrow it down with "mensa", "commander", "author", etc doesn't seem to help much in establishing notability.  I'm open to changing my vote if someone else can pull up some relevant hits.

 * One method is book titles, since book reviews is how an author passes notability. I can't find anything, lots of press releases. Not a notable author. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 04:57, 6 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete per Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion. This article is unambiguously promotional. -   t  u coxn \ talk 02:50, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
