Sammy & Sue Go Green Too!

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable book. Reviews are insufficient to meet WP:NBOOK and being selected by an organization for a reading program doesn't meet that criteria. Ineligible for PROD as it was PROD'd in 2009 and de-PROD'd by article creator. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 18:19, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete The correct thing to do would be to redirect to Suzanne Corso. But that article doesn't exist, even though Corso has written multiple books based on her own colorful life history (Brooklyn Story, Suite Life) that have been reviewed in e.g. The New York Times and apparently are being adapted for film. In other words, this article documents one of the least notable things she has done. In guideline terms: this article's subject does not meet WP:NBOOK. Bakazaka (talk) 19:09, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'd be cautious of the film adaptation claims. I took a look for coverage and for the claims of having written screenplays, producing, and writing, there's really not much out there about her. Most of what I've seen about her have been tabloid type material that discuss her marriage and later divorce to a wealthy man who lost it all on Wall Street in 2008. (NY Post that was reprinted in News.com.au, Daily Mail) She has had some reviews from Publishers Weekly for her books, but Publishers Weekly isn't a strong source to base an article on. Technically they're reliable sources but they're still fairly weak sourcing. There are some Kirkus reviews, but that site is pretty much considered to be reliable by many on Wikipedia. She's had a few interviews with Downtown Magazine NYC and Time Out, but interviews are seen as primary sources by many on Wikipedia. It's not something that I always agree with, but it's common enough that it wouldn't be really something to rely on either. I did find a short review in the NYT and a piece in Glamour, though.
 * Looking into the producer and screenplay claims brought up very little. Her IMDb page is empty, which is surprising since most usually list something, especially if the video claims are notable, suggesting that her work has either been minor or non-notable. This lists her credits and the only claim of note is that she worked on the TV show Empire - but a search for her name and the show title doesn't bring up anything of note.
 * So ultimately the only good sourcing I could find were two PW reviews, a short NYT review, and an article in Glamour. I hate to be skeptical, but this all just seems like she or a marketing person have puffed her up to the press, with minimal success. I don't know that she'd really justify an article unless there's more out there - I didn't do as thorough a search as I'd otherwise have done, to be honest.

 * Nothing about this AfD hinges on whether the adaptation gets made. But for the record, the public-facing IMDb page shows her as "known for" being the producer of "Brooklyn Story", which is "in development" so only IMDbPro members can see the details. The film adaptation is also mentioned in the USA Today piece on her, and one PW blurb mentions that Penny Marshall bought the rights. That said, I don't think either of us is going to write the Suzanne Corso article, so what are your thoughts on this particular AfD? Bakazaka (talk) 23:06, 14 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete. Clearly intended as promotion rather than adding anything encyclopaedic here. SpinningSpark 00:48, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NBOOK, low library holdings does not bode well, no reviews found on this title (reviews mentioned above are for other books). Coolabahapple (talk) 08:20, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Aoba47 (talk) 12:53, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
