[edit] Kim Ponders
Violates both WP:BIO and WP:AUTO. This author isn't notable. Delete GreenJoe 16:34, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Delete. Not a notable author per WP:BIO.Enough other editors have touched the file since I seconded the prod that I don't have autobiography concerns, but there's still nothing to show she's notable. —C.Fred (talk) 16:42, 26 November 2006 (UTC)- Keep - Author of two novels with major publishing company (Harper Collins), a Washington Post writer and WP:BIO notability established by at least two reliable sources (the non-written NPR audio interview could be counted as a third). As for the subject having written much of the article, it does appear typically WP:NPOV and has none of the blatant self-aggrandizing we've seen before. --Oakshade 17:44, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- Comment. Were either or both of the sources reviews? They seemed to be more interviews about her experiences than reviews of her work. Per WP:BIO, authors need to have been reviewed or won awards to be notable. —C.Fred (talk) 17:54, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- responseThey actually appear like profiles. Alot of interviews include write-ups of the subject before the interview section begins. As for your requested reviews, I found some independent reveiws of her books - [1][2] and I see the New York Times reviewed her [3] (registered members can read the full works). --Oakshade 18:06, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
