Vanity page created by subject. True that Google returns a fairish number of hits but they are of predominantly poor quality -- blogs and so forth; many seem like relentless self-promotion. She did manage to get a one-line mention in NYT Books but the same could be said of any published author with a stroke of luck. No awards. Delete. John Reid 11:53, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - she is the professor at a University, although it appears to be a weak university and her field of professorship appears somewhat dodgy.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 03:13, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as above. For great justice. 03:18, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Move to userpage, per Autobiography and WP:Vanity. A tricky one because there is borderline evidence of notability- but if this is retained where it is it will be a keep of the most reluctant, hand-wringing, throw arms to the heavens in desperation kind. I should point out that being a professor at a university is not in itself sufficient to ensure notability, although I guess it helps. More important is that she started her own article (ie presumably no-one else thought she was notable enough) and any recogniton as a writer. Badgerpatrol 03:05, 7 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll certainly tolerate a move to user namespace. John Reid 20:34, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
