apparently a N writer in several countries. Pages in two other WPs.DGG 20:17, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I put this page up several weeks ago, with links to sources documenting accomplishments and publications of this writer and translator. Others have deleted some of these links and quotations. The circularity of this process seems a little self-defeating. If it will help, I will try to re-establish links to websites backing up the modest claims made in the article. one other point: I do not believe that the brief quotations (now deleted) were irrelevant; they were cited to illustrate a point the article is trying to make about a certain kind of prose style. Surely one of the distinct advantages of a digital, virtual, webspace encyclopedia is that it has space for just such illustrative detail. Abondolo 21:49, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

While I admit that the claims made in the article are indeed modest, so are her achievments so far… I don't wanna deny that some sources mention her name as a writer and a translator, but that's not a strong assertion of notability in itself. (And: Despite that the article claims she "won an award" at the translator's contest @ BB Institute, that was a mere [/split] third place.) --Adolar von Csobánka (Talk) 23:29, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Precisely: modest achievements, and commensurately modest claims. And winning competitions in both Sweden and Hungary, and being published in multiple literary magazines in England, is no mean feat for someone her age. Abondolo 20:36, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
