Fails WP:NOTABILITY and WP:BIO. No link. Nothing to give notability. Searches yield nothing. Delete Undeath (talk) 23:19, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. --L. Pistachio (talk) 01:30, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete - non-notable regional writer. The "award" was too minor to tip the scale. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:19, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. If she's a "regional writer" then how come the reviews I referenced come from major newspapers published in three widely separated cities. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:29, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
  • --Hi there - I don't know who created this page, but I am happy to have it. There are plenty of links and national reviews. kalcala —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kalcala (talk • contribs) 06:24, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
