[edit] Diane Kunz

Fails WP:BIO. Chief claim on her in the body of the article is being executive director of the Center for Adoption Policy Studies—which does not have an article. [ETA: Article was enhanced to mention four books she authored. Three are on university presses. None of them have an Amazon sales rank higher than 1.2 million. 21:22, 21 July 2006 (UTC)] Article was prodded previously, put to clean up, but the article kept coming up with non-notable biographical information. —C.Fred (talk) 01:22, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. Another editor has restored some deleted information from the article about four books Kunz has authored. I didn't see anything on the amazon.com blurbs to indicate awards won by the books or significant press coverage of the books. I have noted this in my nomination under the ETA (Edited To Add) block, but I make no change to my recommendation of deletion at this time. —C.Fred (talk) 21:22, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

The result was Keep. Following WP:BE BOLD, I'm closing this as a keep because the subject of the article unambiguously meets notability criteria as the author of significant books from major publishers and because the article was effectively vandalized to remove all mention of a well-known controversy over tenure at Yale in which she was a central figure. I've devandalized the article. Google "Diane Kunz Yale" and find a few dozen articles about the controversy. You can also check any reliable book review index to see she meets that notability criterion, even though the nom says otherwise, unless you think "multiple" means more than two dozen.

I have re-opened the debate as it was clearly closed in violation of deletion policy. I didn't want to censor VivianDarkbloom's comments, so I have moved them here. Kevin 00:55, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
