The author of a single book is not notable separately from the book. We normally have a choice of making the article on the book or the author. At this point, I think the book is the more notable.  DGG ( talk ) 00:41, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep I found this 2009 WSJ article about the subject, an interview of her at the Economist from 2012, a Business Insider interview also from 2012, and a bunch of other stuff, pretty quickly. It seems that there's enough coverage from independent reliable sources over a long period of time that establishes notability. The previous nomination actually makes the case for keeping much better than I ever could. LAroboGuy (talk) 01:37, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment, re nom's reasoning - "The author of a single book is not notable separately from the book.", of course a (very) notable exception (untill recently) is Harper Lee. Coolabahapple (talk) 07:51, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep, meets WP:AUTHOR and WP:GNG, large number of sources available as i set out in the previous afd, not all of which only review here book, but do discuss the author, who is also known for her motivational work. Coolabahapple (talk) 08:13, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
