 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 09:58, 31 March 2007 (UTC)


 * ♦Delete   Self-serving of little or no importance other than to the author.  This is an example of why MySpace was founded. Shoessss 11:30, 31 March 2007 (UTC)


 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Mailer Diablo 11:01, 6 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak delete. Has written several books—self-published, apparently—but article contains no evidence that WP:BIO is satisfied, and it violates WP:AUTO. I also recommend deleting the WP articles on the books (linked in the article under review). Deor 22:32, 6 April 2007 (UTC)


 * ‘’’Keep’’’ That’s right, I’m changing my initial evaluation.  The young lady does have two published books with Amazon.com.  That is good enough for me. Shoessss 00:35, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Amazon.com does not publish books. Amazon.com is a bookseller, and will distribute any book, self-published or otherwise, as long as it gets a commission . A listing there is proof that a book exists, and can provide some basic data, but it has no more significance towards notability than a paid advertisement. There is perhaps some level of unsalability below which they will not even list, but I don;t know that there is. DGG 07:18, 7 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete as Vanispamcruftisement along with articles on her books - a simple Google search led to her Amazon.com profile, which in turn led to http://www.backpack45.com/ ... she is obviously the editor who authored this article, as well as the articles for her books, Camino Chronicle, Richmond - Windows to the Past, and We're in the Mountains Not over the Hill ... none of these articles have any WP:RS citations, neither she nor these books meet WP:N, and the books should be included in this AfD ... this is a blatant attempt to use Wikipedia for self-promotion. (If deleted, don't forget to zap the disambiguation page for Susan Alcorn.) &mdash; 11:43, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
