[edit] Suzy Elkins (writer)
Fails to assert notability under WP:CREATIVE. One novel (which turns out to be vanity-published [1] [2]); personal website has been down since 2007; and I can find no third-party sources supporting the claims that she's a "well-known" author or that the book had "critical acclaim". Appears to be a vanity creation anyway: compare creator name Alexstott (talk · contribs) and staff list of AA1 Media, Amesbury. Gordonofcartoon (talk) 14:24, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Authors-related deletion discussions. -- Fabrictramp | talk to me 20:47, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. This is a non-notable writer, and the article cites no external references to back up the claims of "critical acclaim" for her novels. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 18:15, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

- Delete, No reliable sources available to establish notability, could find nothing via google or my access to EBSCO via library to pass WP:BIO--Captain-tucker (talk) 08:42, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. Self-publishing confers no notability and the claim of being "well-known" doesn't match my Google search; also no reliable sources. Accounting4Taste:talk 17:50, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Amazon shows no reviews, the article itself was obviously a publicity exercise, and it is already out of print or at least not available on Amazon.co.uk new. Doug Weller (talk) 17:56, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- DELETE I'm a hardcore inclusionist, but I can't find any merit to this one. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:05, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- Delete the paucity of hits and absence of independent reviews strongly suggests lack of notability. 4 unique Ghits for Suzy G. Elkins, and 8 Ghits for Suzy Elkins. Ohconfucius (talk) 03:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
