WP:BLP, with heavy overtones of promotional rather than encyclopedic presentation, of a writer and activist with no particularly strong claim of notability, as opposed to mere existence, for either endeavour. As written, the article relies entirely on primary sources for anything that's actually about her — the few appropriately reliable sources are not about her, but instead are supporting a coatracked section about other things that an organization she was involved with happened to get involved in. In addition, I've done a ProQuest search and found that there aren't sufficient sources about her to salvage this article with — her name gets just six hits across 20 years, and she wasn't the subject of any of those hits, but was the author of two of them and merely a quote-provider about other things in the other four. That simply isn't enough coverage to claim WP:GNG, and nothing in this article gets her over any of our subject-specific inclusion rules either. Neither writers nor activists are entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because you can point to primary sources to prove that they exist; it's coverage in reliable sources that gets a person in here.

 * Delete Definitely not notable as an author--very few library holdings, and some of her works are self-published. There does not seem to be substantial evidence for any other basis of notability.  DGG ( talk ) 20:52, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG. Sources do not establish notability sufficiently. Becky Sayles (talk) 01:00, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
