Clear COI-violating BLP fails WP:AUTHOR -- only source given mentions this person in a passing way (mentioned she wore an evening gown at a union function in a gossip column that quickly moved onto other things). Keep Your Skirt On is only in three libraries as far as I can tell from WorldCat, failing standalone book notability guidelines. Real-Life Royalty is in some libraries, but certainly not an important body of work to give author a Wikipedia article, etc. per our standards. Slight argument to be made that the latter book might barely meet standards for an article on its own -- it at least meets some of the initial criteria instead of immediately failing, like the former book, but it looks like it'd be an uphill battle for even that.

 * Weak Delete She seems moderately prolific as an author and columnist, but I don't see any evidence of her works being cited, receiving any major notice, commentary. I would be convinced to keep if someone could turn up reliable, independent sources written about her, as opposed to written by her.  I've been unable to find that.  The only blurbs written about her that I find are in the context of promoting or introducing her column or books, and are thus not independent.  Cazort (talk) 22:14, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
