"How to get a million dollars worth of Free PR"? Have someone post an article about you on Wikipedia, apparently. No indepedent sources are given. There are a number of assertions of notability, and a number of hits on Google, but I was unable to find truly independent, neutral biographical coverage about this person. Maybe someone else can - but otherwise I don't see how an NPOV biography could be written. SPA creation, tagged with notability concerns since May 2007. B.

  • Delete as a unverifiable self-promotional article on a non-notable author. While she makes a number of claims that would be notable if true, I can't find sourcing for them either. (And as the nom mentions, the fact that she markets a book telling you how to get free PR by exploting the internet doesn't inspire trust). Bfigura (talk) 17:12, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

  • comment, this is obviously an author about whom we may not know a lot but she has 361 hits on google news archive [1], and has been around for decades. A little could be written simply chronicling her writing career/the books she's written, and probably a bit of critical reception could be found for each one. We need only write about her writing- that after all is what she's notable for, as with most writers that's what we need to write about. Merkin's mum 22:44, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete. Self-advert spam from an SPA. Qworty (talk) 18:21, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
