[edit] Lyn bagnall

Lyn bagnall (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non notable author and gardening expert. More than half the article is about the book rather than the subject. With the external links, the Scribe publications link is dead, the CSIRO profile has been lifted directly into the article, the ABC link is an advice column rather than information on the subject and the Aussies living simply is a link to a forum. Discounting the copyright violation from the CSIRO the article is unsourced. Mattinbgn/ ^talk 23:26, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

• Keep and cleanup. A Google News Archive search shows that there has been some independent coverage of her book see [1]. If kept, it shuld be moved to Lyn Bagnall.Capitalistroadster 02:24, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
• Weak delete While the person is certainly well-known, I'm not sure they actually cross the independent sources threshold. Much of the article is copyvio or fairly close to it. Orderinchaos 06:00, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Not sure that she has the name recognition required under WP:NOTE. ABC website has three transcripts of interviews, so I would suggest that this doesn't yet meet the criteria. No independent secondary sources on biographical details available. Sorry, but doesn't meet notability guidelines yet. The book probably is notable but searches on Google don't necessarily demonstrate that yet. Assize 11:25, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Delete, as per User:Assize above me. Borderline, but I don't think she makes the grade yet. Lankiveil 07:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC).
• Keep and cleanup. There has been independent coverage of her book, and at least 3 of the external links provided support her notability. --Evb-wiki 15:12, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. One book and accompanying marketing isnt enough. John Vandenberg 06:30, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Just. The book just fails WP:BK and the author fails WP:BIO for authors. Not enough published information about the author and some of the reviews are publisher's PR. The clincher for me is the contributions of the original WP editor [2]. Looks like a single-purpose account created to put this article on wikipedia. Not good enough.
