• Traci Harding - I have never heard of this 'Australian novelist'; it's obviously a self-promotional entry
  • Delete. - UtherSRG 04:42, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep Self promotion can evolve into a good article Jack 05:32, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete if nonfamous. --Jiang
  • Keep. 2300+ Google hits. -- Seth Ilys 07:54, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, although make sure that the article is NPOV. There seem to be enough mentions of her on the internet that an article isn't out of the question. As pointed out, Google shows 2,320 hits, and some of her novels seem to have been through several reprints. Not a particularly well known author, but not nobody, either. -- Vardion 07:56, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Not particularly well known, but does have some sort of a readership. Needs verifiability/NPOV though.--Imran 13:01, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: personal promotion. Wile E. Heresiarch 17:48, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. The Google hits are quite convincing. She publishes with Fictionwise, a somewhat credible ebook outfit. There are reviews in place that don't seem to be obvious plants. I have no idea what Raven's Reviews is, but her book scores on the "top 100" list... and not suspiciously high on it. Dpbsmith 20:50, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)
  • I don't think it's self-promotion; more likely just a gushing fan. Harding, from the little I know of her work, strikes me as the kind of writer who would have fans like that. My vote: Keep, but rewrite for NPOV. —Paul A 01:29, 28 Jan 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. As it stands the article is neutral. She has published nearly a dozen books and most of them are in public libraries in NZ if not elsewhere. ping 08:10, 31 Jan 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. She is in most libraries in australia, and what would wikkipedia be is you deleted all the articles?
  • Keep. She's a noteworthy author at least. I loved her books and wouldn't be able to objectively expand the article, but it does need to be fleshed out with at least some synopses of each book.--NoobixCube 04:09, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
