[edit] Valerie Saxion

Appears to be promotional in nature, notability highly questionable. Leuko 17:51, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Although the article needs some major, major work she is plenty notable IMO. She hosts a weekly show and here is her bio on the Trinity Broadcasting Website, here is Amazon's listing of her books, and googling her name brings back over 46,000 results. --DrunkenSmurf 18:01, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per DrunkenSmurf. Addhoc 18:06, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete as per WP:SPAM ST47 18:17, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
• Reluctant keep per DrunkenSmurf; even though she's probably a fraud, she does seem to be notable. I've heavily pruned the article. NawlinWiki 20:05, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Just because she's on the Trinity Broadcasting Network doesn't make her notable, and besides, her "show" is not a real show, it's a paid infomercial. Most of her Google hits are not valid primary sources per WP:RS, but ads and ad-like puff pieces on various churchly and spammy sites. wikipediatrix 20:25, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. The article can be recreated if/when someone is actually prepared to make it encyclopedic. Marc Shepherd 03:02, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Er, where is her doctorate from again? This seems to be an infomercial for the books and products that she sells. Hardly anything of a non-commercial nature is said here. Does she do anything other than run a radio show that sells these (probably quack) products? This is nowhere near being an encyclopedic article. --Ssilvers 03:42, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nomination. The subject hosts a half-hour slot on Christian TV, and has indeed authored several books. These books run in the 200-500k range of popularity per Amazon, and there are no traces of independently published reviews, as given by WP:BIO. She is however notable (in the loosest possible sense) in that her books, particularly The Gospel of Health, seems to contain a very high number of expressions she has coined, which Amazon calls "statistically improbable phrases". Note that the author of the article has no other edits apart from this entry. Ohconfucius 04:59, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per wikipediatrix. The "Buy my books here!" Amazon link says it all. ~ trialsanderrors 09:00, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
