Does not seem to me to meet notability criteria of WP:BIO. I can't find any reviews or mentions of the works aside from promotional info. RJASE1 ^Talk 03:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Why is my article pending deletion? I don't really understand, but I would like to fix it so that the article can remain.

Thanks for your assistance. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Djrobbief (talk • contribs) 03:49, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

• Comment please refer to WP:COI, WP:OWN and WP:SOAP. Ohconfucius 02:13, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Note to the previous commenter: please sign your posts "~~~~" so that we know who you are. This is a typical case of a fan's bio, or an autobiography, of a non-notable figure who thinks she's notable because she published some books. See the details at WP:BIO. There may not be much of a way to improve the article if the facts are what they are. YechielMan 05:23, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per above. Titles published by a vanity publisher. Victoriagirl 22:06, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. A vanity publisher is a company that charges authors to publish their book. The books in question appear to be published by the author and her husband, rather than a vanity publisher. If multiple reviews or articles about the author from reliable sources can be found, then she would be notable. --Eastmain 02:30, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment. I see no indication that Rock of Ages Publishing is anything but a vanity press. Victoriagirl 04:17, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

• • Believe it or not, a few standard books have been published what is called vanity publishers, the question is not what type of publisher put out a book but how many have actually been sold and how does that figure relate to comparable books published by standard publishers Alf photoman 22:22, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

• • • While I'm afraid I don't know what is meant by "standard books", I believe my comment concerning Rock of Ages Publishing has been misconstrued. In no way do I believe that self-published and vanity press books should be disregarded, rather I argue that they should be recognized for what they are: publications paid for by the author. I think this fact is relevant to any AfD consideration... as are sales, influence and profile. Victoriagirl 23:05, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per above. Also appears to fail WP:COI: author is Djrobbief, and husband of subject is one Robbie Ferguson. He also attempted to hijack the page Rebecca Smith. Ohconfucius 02:13, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
