Removed prod. unsourced. Does not meet WP:PROF there is no sources to indicate this person or her body of work are well known. Not notable. Seems somewhat WP:FRINGE. This article seemed to have been spammed into other articles

 * Keep, passes WP:PROF, 24 reviews listed in Book Review Index, including LA Times, Nature, multiple reviews in American Anthropologist. Her book Wildlife Tourism has 71 cites in Google scholar, Visitor Management has 37, others with 10-30 each. Jfire (talk) 05:03, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. She seems to be both notable as a cryptanthropologist (I think that's the term), for doing real research into folktales and so forth, as well as being a noted writer in cultural and natural tourism circles. (Next time, let unreferenced have more than ten minutes to work. You can always AFD if nothing happens in a month or two.) --Dhartung | Talk 05:52, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well being a BLP and unsourced it should either be stubbed or deleted. I chose the latter. Pocopocopocopoco (talk) 01:03, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, she is notable enough, IMO.--Berig (talk) 07:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
