• Delete agreed. The Deviant 14:11, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
• Undecided. The web site looks a bit like an ad to me. The assertion that Demetria Clark is "internationally known" seems difficult to prove; appears to me like "would like to be internationally known". <KF> 17:30, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Not at all hard to prove, google her. She is totally verifiable. She is well known in the herbal and midwifery world. I added more to her entries —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mommagoddess (talk • contribs) 03:07, 21 January 2006.
• Delete; the actual content of the article is unverifiable, including the claim of being "well known". We would need a reliable source actually calling her well known. Melchoir 03:35, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Looking at the criteria for people still living at Wikipedia:Notability (people) this article should be left as it very clearly passes two of the criteria.

Published authors, editors, and photographers who have written books with an audience of 5,000 or more or in periodicals with a circulation of 5,000 or more As the article says she has been published in Vegetarian Journal, Midwifery Today, and others. A quick search on Google shows that she has indeed been published in both of the before mentioned periodicals; both of which do have a circulation of greater then 5,000.

Google Test -- Does the subject get lots of hits on Google or another well known search mechanism? A google of the name Demetria Clark brings up many results. Many of these results verify the claims of the article.--Drumzandspace2000 13:25, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

• • As for publishing, there are only vague claims of publishing in the article. Let's see some article titles and page numbers. As for Google, no, those results are all websites, and a great deal of the material was written by Demetria herself, just as this article was. They do not help verify the article at all.

• A list of some of the publications by Demetria Clark has been posted. --Drumzandspace2000 20:14, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Some of those are webpage-only or defunct... let's see if someone else wants to support you. Melchoir 01:02, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Notability based on google results and noted publications seems to exceed a minimum standard that allows many others to pass. I suspect opposition comes more from a response to the author's attitude than from an objective view of info. Deli nk 17:43, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Notability has been established by both publications and Google results. --Atc 21:07, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
