[edit] Laura Hartman

This was originally up for deletion (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Laura Hartman when it was tagged for being a copyvio from [1] but it's only got a few sentences in the intro that are copied which could be easily rewritten, so I'm resuming the deletion process. No vote (although if the result is to delete, I would suggest userfication as the original author was User:Lhartman). howcheng {chat} 18:58, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

• We don't keep academics simply because the publish something. It is their job to publish things. Anyway, she has a book at #58,759 on Amazon, not quite as good as The Lawn Bible: How to Keep It Green, Groomed, and Growing Every Season of the Year. Trying to WP:V the awards she's won, I note that her [2] DePaul official page only mentions the "DePaul's Excellence in Teaching Award". How notable that is is also up for question: [3][4]. She has one genuine News hit, but Chicago Sun-Times' website times out, so I cannot confirm to what degree it features her. At this time I cannot find demonstration that she has been given media attention or won a notable awards. Looking over WP:BIO, I do not see that she meets any of these criteria, with the possible exception of as a published author. I am unclear as to the relationship between amazon rank and sales, however I cannot imagine that the author of the aforementioned lawn guide would merit inclusion, thus I am forced to conclude that Hartman does not. Delete unless evidence of notability satisfying Wikipedia:Reliable sources presented per WP:BIO. - brenneman^(t)(c) 23:40, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Oops. It's actually copyvio: [5] - brenneman^(t)(c) 23:43, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
