[edit] Jennifer Eaton Gokmen
nn writer, about 100 unique google hits [1] also violates WP:VAIN Giant onehead 19:50, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- Keep, editor of a notable book, Tales from the Expat Harem and has written a couple of books. Also contributes to a notable magazine in Turkey. T REXspeak 20:33, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- Keep, her bibliography is enough to establish notability. Akradecki 22:05, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment, I'd still like to check on the WP:VAIN violation, I'm almost certain that said subject created her own article. Giant onehead 22:19, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Even if User:Jgokmen is her, which is hard to prove, s/he still wrote a NPOV article about a notable subject, herself, and as far as I'm concerned it doesn't say she did anything that she didn't do. T REXspeak 23:11, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment I just went and read WP:VAIN and while it says this kind of thing is "strongly discouraged", I think there's room for it to stay. It says that such articles are sent to AfD, where we are, and that "usually" they are deleted. Doesn't say it has to be deleted. It seems that there's been enough input from other editors, including a general cleanup, that this is now a community-produced article, even if it was started by the subject originally.

- Keep. If her book was a #1 bestseller, that should make her notable enough for a wikipedia article. Ultra-Loser Talk | BT sites 02:31, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
- delete the books she has contributed to or written are rather obscure. there are millions of books in print, if the authors of every single one of them were listed on wikipedia, it would become unmanageable. Also, writing for Time Out Istanbul is not especially noteworthy. Igbogirl 03:15, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

- Comment How do you define "obscure"? First, I don't think a #1 best seller is obscure! Second, even if it was, "obscure" is not the opposite of "notable", and that's our guideline. Akradecki 03:26, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment I have not seen any information confirming that her book was a "#1 bestseller. Igbogirl 04:18, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
- Keep per all "keep" opinions above. Nothing to add. Fiddle Faddle 15:22, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
