New low point in article accepted from AfC

self-published eBook without any pretense to notability except 3 local newspaper articles, which ,as this case shows, are indiscriminate in what they cover on local authors.  DGG ( talk ) 04:44, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete The Prod notice that was on the article before it was restored provides a good summary: "e-book with no strong claim of notability, by a first-time writer with no Wikipedia article of her own; also possible WP:COI as the article's creator has never made any other contributions to Wikipedia at all". The strongest reference is probably the Daily Record as the others are just local notice; however the Record piece is just a brief mention and I don't see it as meeting WP:NBOOK notability criteria, nor am I locating anything better.
