[edit] Brenda Barrie and The Binding

Proposed for deletion by Rbanzai (talk ยท contribs) with the edit summary "This appears to be primarily self-promotion with little value as a Wikipedia entry." Deprodded by me; Rbanzai latter added the afd1 template to the article but didn't complete the rest of the process, so I'm finishing it for him. Brenda Barrie is an author with a published novel, The Binding (2005, RockWay Press, low Amazon sales rank, but stocked by Amazon itself, not an affiliate). She has also published a collection of poetry, Full Speed. Full Stop in 2003, also from RockWay press, which I couldn't find on Amazon. RockWay press is not a vanity publisher, I checked. Her official website includes a "reviews and comments" section, but no reviewers give affiliations with press. The damning stroke for me is [1], which lists the WP articles on her and her novel on her own web page: apparently, these are here for promotion. I say delete Mangojuicetalk 17:05, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment, I just added The Binding to this AfD as well; clearly they should both go if either one goes. Mangojuicetalk 17:08, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete She doesn't seem particularly notable, but I don't think the page is as advertise-y as some others might believe. But either way, she's not really worthy of a WP article. -- Kicking222 21:03, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete both per WP:BLP, unless we see some proof of the books having circulation of over 5000. Stifle (talk) 23:11, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete.--Peta 05:40, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
