Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a writer, not reliably sourced as clearing our notability standards for writers. The most substantive notability claim here, that she is "the first official empathetic strategist", is completely unreferenced -- and it gives no context whatsoever for what "empathetic strategist" means or who confers "official" status on them, and no verifiable evidence that she was the first one. And when it comes to the referencing, 14 of the 15 footnotes are simply the publication details of her own books, and the 15th is IMDb -- but you don't make a writer notable by referencing her books to themselves as technical evidence that they exist, you make a writer notable by referencing her books to media coverage about the books (e.g. critical reviews in magazines or academic journals) as evidence that they got independent attention. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to show much better sourcing than this. It also warrants note that a very similar but not fully identical version was previously created by the same user and speedy deleted about a month ago at the title Murièle Solange Bolay (MSB); although that doesn't make it eligible for redeletion as a G4, I'm noting it because this version does not actually improve either the substance or the sourcing.
