Non-notable author, page recently accepted from AfC. The non-fiction works are in 12 libraries total according to [http://www.worldcat.org/title/two-worlds-lost-children-of-the-indian-adoption-projects/oclc/812289694&referer=brief_results
 * Weak Delete Article is clearly promotional with no reputable secondary sources. Evidence of notability seems to rest on the awards which IMHO do not meet the standards of WP:AUTHOR and WP:ANYBIO. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:15, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Strong keep. At least you're being honest enough to write IMHO (In my honest opinion) above, because that's all it honestly is - your opinion.  Just because something is not at all notable to you, doesn't mean it isn't notable to other readers.  And just because it isn't at all notable to YOU, doesn't mean there is no room for it on wikipedia. Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 13:27, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Notability is not established. Search results yield only self-published websites and social media hits. -Uyvsdi (talk) 03:26, 6 June 2013 (UTC)Uyvsdi
 * Keep Important within a small community for a specific population that is already heavily marginalized. Has indeed written articles and personal details into works like Origins USA. The claims of awards from Native American Journalists Association need to be confirmed, but this would seem to meet GNG if they could be sourced. It will take some time, but the notability claim is there. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 14:20, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
 * The sources in the article, and the others that I can find, indicate that the Indian Adoption Project(s) is/are notable, and should have an article, but don't have the coverage in independent reliable sources to establish notability for Trace DeMeyer. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:32, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
