Possible COI issue/Autobiography/NPOV issue. VivioFateFan (Talk, Sandbox) 06:58, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, this one will likely need extensive research before it can become an article, and as it's written we probably have issues with WP:BLP (not NPOV).Aeternitas827 (talk) 08:03, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Userfy to User:Agbaron --Storkk (talk) 14:40, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Userfy per Storkk. IMO, subject falls just short of notability guidelines for professors (per scholar search), authors (per google search) and per book publishing (per sales (Amazon # 914,000+ ranking and lack of independent reviews). Best of luck to the author with no prejudice against future re-creation. hey - I'm sure J.K. Rowling would have failed notability at one point too. Keep writing. One of the best signs of notability is someone else drops everything and writes about you here, or anywhere. And if a book really takes off, wikipedia will be here writing neutrally about you.

  • Delete for lack of notability. --Crusio (talk) 09:56, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete she seems to have not actually published any scholarly books. DGG (talk) 03:21, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: Concerning book sales Barnes & Noble sales ranking figures today: Her hardcover book Gold of Thrace (2007) has a sales rank of 255845; paperback reprint of Fly Has a Hundred Eyes has sales rank of 516700; Torch of Tangier (paperback) 306050, while the hardcover has a rank of 561427. So, as a writer, she possibly passes the bar. However, the article as is currently stands, lacks references and is in need of a rewrite if the subject is deemed sufficiently notable. — ERcheck (talk) 14:36, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
