 * Delete fails WP:BIO and WP:GNG, non-notable. DARTH SIDIOUS 2 (Contact) 17:42, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Seriously?  A person now becomes a notable author because he or she writes a blog?  This fails WP:BIO and WP:GNG rather badly.--Yachtsman1 (talk) 06:24, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Allen published a blog. Her blogging lead to making significant contributions to two books.  She was one of the subjects of PBS documentary broadcast across the USA.  Her writing is being cited ot just in the blogosphere, but also in the MSM and in the medical establishment.  Geo Swan (talk) 05:44, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Writing a book does not satisfy the general notability guidelines, although being written ABOUT may. Of all of your comment, only the PBS documentary would count towards notability - are you able to cite it? - DustFormsWords (talk) 06:12, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It is already cited, currently the first citation, to WETA, the PBS station that produced the documentary. Also please note that she is one of the characters in a play -- about soldiers who wrote from the front.  Geo Swan (talk) 05:57, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
