 * Delete - as I posted in my original prod notice, she is a self-published author (books are through Blue Leaf Publications, a print-on-demand house) of questionable notability. Unreferenced claims of notability. Google search on "Shannon Duffy" "Stormy Night" (her only published book to date) shows only 37 unique results. MikeWazowski (talk) 14:51, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete - Not a notable person. --Cox wasan (talk) 09:24, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:AUTHOR. Yunshui 雲水 11:04, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete; absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence, but it is evidence of nonnotability. Conversely, Mike's search is good evidence of absence.  Nyttend (talk) 12:11, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Good point.  Ol Yeller21 Talktome  18:18, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:AUTHOR. Besides not being the subject of significant coverage from an independent and reliable source, the only other action that I can see that would imply notability by any guideline is the book that has been published.  I don't see any indication that the book is widely cited or considered a "significant monument" so I don't see that the book can establish notability of the author.
