[edit] Claudia Imhoff
This article has a bit of a history of IP reverts, minor edit warring, etc so I anticipate this AfD could get "interesting". Yes, there's coverage of the topic, but none appears to meet the basic criteria of WP:BIO. Lots of press release and blog stuff, but the big issue is whether it's reliable and independent.

- Keep Far too many Google Books references and titles authored by her to fail notability. See http://books.google.com/books?q=Claudia+Imhoff&btnG=Search+Books (Mind meal (talk) 07:13, 2 February 2008 (UTC))

- Comment Wow, I missed some of those. Note that the search is also returning books she's mentioned in, not exclusively that she (co)authored. What's the minimum on creative professionals? I'm looking at Wikipedia:BIO#Creative_professionals and she would seem to pass on some of those (in which case, mea culpa and I'll withdraw the nom) but not all. If it is deemed to meet WP:BIO I'll try to work on it so it doesn't read like her professional summary. Travellingcari (talk) 15:46, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Keep The books are published by major publishers, primarily Wiley. Some of them have had multiple editions. Some are in almost 100 US libraries. There are thus undoubtedly reviews also. Not that anyone could possibly have told all this from the spammy nonspecific unreferenced article. Keep and improve. DGG (talk) 08:27, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Nom Withdrawn I stubbed it and added a few of her books. I don't know enough about the field to understand my way through the press releases out there to work out what it is she actually *does* so that's for someone else to figure out now that notability has been established.
