Easily PRODable (but I wanted comments) author and my searches found nothing good aside from results for her book. The history suggests it was started by Tristan herself in December of 2006 (and I'm not sure who the 3 anons from January 2012 are, they seem to add personal info but their other edits are completely different) but the autobio doesn't concern me as much as the non-existent sources and no significant edits since then.

 * Has written some books (see, page 1 of 4) but this does not automatically confer notability. Quis separabit?  23:54, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep, she has written books about hermit crabs! and guinea pigs! and potbellied pigs! "coolabahapple, sure they're cute but that doesn't make Boyer Binns notable." "yes i know, i'm getting to that!" meets WP:GNG, has numerous(40+) book reviews with Horn Book Guide and School Library Journal (SLJ)  (sorry, i don't have access, hopefully a helpful editor can oblige?). i have found these SLJ reviews as a start-, ,  Her books also appear in numerous school/library reading lists and study guides: , , , , , , , ,  so are part of the school curriculum. Not sure why the article has languished for so long although the child lit project does have over 5000 stubby articles(don't get me started on those individual Nancy Drew and Hardy boys articles ...), a lot of which were created many years ago, so if any editor is able to assist they are more than welcome Coolabahapple (talk) 18:28, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete lots of books, but I cannot replicate User:Coolabahapple findings. My search on Horn Book turned up nothing . User:Coolabahapple first link, from the the highly reputable School Library Journal is deeply unpersuasive . Binns appears to be in a category of writers of children's books who crank out non-fiction titles  to meet a demand from school libraries for "new" books that regurgitate old material about popular grade school assignment topics, like early women doctors,  and the White House.  And she appears in online lists of such books.  If someone can find reviews of her work, flag me. But I'm seeing no notability here.  And found none in my searches.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:24, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and (btw, formatted your comment, hope you don't mind). My searches could find nothing to suggest the notability of this author.  Onel 5969  TT me 14:27, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
