(Prodded (and prod endorsed), can't think of anything to add to Prod rationale so here it is again) Non-notable; doesn't come close to satisfying any of the criteria for WP:NAUTHOR. Anyone can write a book, anyone can give a 15 minute talk for TED, anyone can run a Kickstarter. JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 02:18, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete-Unotable author. Wgolf (talk) 03:15, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment Has some independent sources: . Though one can also argue the notability is with the product and not the creator.  野狼院ひさし  u/t/c 11:57, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Conserve. Not everyone presented an official TED talk (not an independently-organised event) and (more importantly) not everyone wrote a book which receive extended media coverage and was translated in eleven languages within its first year. I created the article to talk about the book and the learning method but I thought the title should be the author. The method definitely deserved an encyclopaedic description in Wikipedia; but do not hesitate to add more sources (as I did today) and to suggest improvements or new title if you thinks it would be better.

 * Keep look at the 4 sources given above in a comment  is a reliable profile of her published not because she was already notable at that point, but just as a sort of human interest piece.  still it's reliable.  The next three are profiles in major international news outlets about her method of teaching Chinese, Fast Company, ], Voice of America. These are enough to justify an article.   But in addition, the page itself has this  from  The Guardian.  So, yeah, successfully promoting yourself and the learning system you created/book you wrote  into the Guardian and onto Voice of America equate to notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:14, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
