Non-notable, unorphaned and no sign of any external links. ApprenticeFan talk  contribs 00:32, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep- It needs better sources so that it can be improved, but otherwise it is a poor article. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 00:58, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete, she appears to have some notability, but I just can't find any non-trivial sources. I found one article that mentions her in the context of the article, but the article is not about her. This article is reprinted multiple times across a variety of sources.  I also found multiple sources that published the same review about her book.  In my searches I just couldn't find enough to say she is notable.  A new name 2008 (talk) 01:20, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep What exactly is unorphaned mean? I assume you just meant orphaned, but neither that, nor an external link section matters.  As for the case of her being notable, she has been questioned in that USA today article about the issue, it explaining briefly who she was.  And her books get reviewed.

 * Keep. Sufficient notability as commentator and published author. WWGB (talk) 02:44, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I am not prepared to consider deleting at this stage but I am puzzled as to why being the "Managing Editor of the Youth Section and Volunteer Youth Resource Network at Islamonline." is notable. Perhaps she is notable as an author but the article doesn't make that clear either. -- Mattinbgn\talk 05:06, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Appears notable as an author but the article needs drastic improvement. Orderinchaos 12:04, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
