After doing some basic cleanup on the page, what we're left with seems to be a promotional piece for a non-notable author. While there are several citations, the only readily-verifiable one (the imls.gov one) is for a mentor of the subject, which makes no mention of the subject. The next closest one is only a listing of a radio station; it does not provide necessary info such as the program name, date, etc., and it's not clear that it was a notable appearance. I'm listing this as failing WP:V. --AbsolutDan (talk) 14:46, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete there appears to be no copy of her books in a US/Canadian library, but that is not the same conclusive proof of non-=notability as an author as it would be for a book in english by a US or Canadian or UK author. DGG (talk) 16:33, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete unless better references can be provided quickly. Deb (talk) 16:47, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Completely unverifiable, bordering on possible hoax. A Google search finds a grand total of 1 mention of her Cronicas del Barrio (not counting the Wikipedia article); a WorldCat search finds nothing relevant. None of the other books mentioned in the article seem to exist either. Hardly indicative of "great success" in publishing. Hqb (talk) 16:50, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
