 * Question Does she also publish under the name Echo Freer? I ask because this Amazon site seems confused about whether the author of "Curse of the Toads" is Rebecca Lisle or Echo Freer, while this Amazon site lists her as the author of that book but list half a dozen books by Freer under "customers also bought..." Meanwhile her Amazon bio page lists a dozen books by her, including "The Curse of the Ravens" but not "the Curse of the Toads". All very confusing. --MelanieN (talk) 15:59, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. She "published many children's books". Where's the proof? Where is the claim to notability (other than one minor nomination)? If this vanity article can be rewritten with references, I may reconsider. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 14:12, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete - Well, there are 24 titles listed on www.amazon.co.uk. Some of them, like Wizard Dog, have been remaindered (sale at £0.01) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wizard-Dog-Rebecca-Lisle/dp/1842708902/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1232824005&sr=1-4; several others, like The Dog in the Diamond Collar, are on sale at a normal price and have a good-looking five-star rating from "1 customer review": but the one-and-only-customer is named "Bozey" and comes from GB (the United Kingdom). "Bozey" has in fact written 9 such reviews, 7 of them of Rebecca Lisle books... could Bozey be [Re]becca, perhaps? It looks as if both the WP article and the Amazon pages are self-publicity. Unless anyone has any evidence to the contrary. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:24, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
