[edit] notability

Perhaps I'm missing something, but this person doesn't appear to meet WP:BIO. Dstanfor 04:17, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

For what it's worth, all the books mentioned are available on Amazon, and two of the books are ranked ~#1000 there, so she's certainly not unknown by any means. I only know her from her podcast though, maybe somebody else can expand on her notability. --Interiot 04:29, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

I did see that two of her earliest books (the ultimate guide to oral sex ones) showed up if you did a deep search. How'd you find the approximate ranking on amazon? Dstanfor 04:32, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

The two books that ranked highly are her 2002 books. Right below where it mentions the ISBN and #pages and such, there's a "Amazon.com Sales Rank" field. *shrug*

Oh, also her podcast is listed #15 on Yahoo's most popular list (even though the episodes are released sporadically), and while it's not unimaginable that there's a war on podcasts, almost all of the top ~20 podcasts I listen to have an article. --Interiot 04:42, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

OK then. From that it sounds like she's on the edge of notability, but enough that it's worth keeping around. I'll remove the unencyclopedic tag. Dstanfor 04:57, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

I think you are missing something. She has is often quoted by the press and reasontly was named in Forbs The Web Celeb 25. She has won a independ award for one of her books IPPY. Her pod cast is on the top of the Yahoo, as noted, and iTunes lists. Has a column in the San Francisco Chronicle's web site, Violet Blue Open Source Sex. Has seventeen books in print some as noted are best sellers. As well as many other accomplishments. Wikiwikimoore 06:05, 8 February 2007 (UTC).
