[edit] Frances M Hendry
While from what I can find on Google, this person may be notable, but the current article seems to be an autobiography, thus I am not sure whether WP:V, WP:NOR, etc are there. VivioFateFan (Talk, Sandbox) 09:45, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- Keep: notable author, 16 books published (search on Frances Hendry on Amazon) and awards received. If we remove or verify the sentence that mentions "Nairn Drama Club" we have probably taken care of the WP:V problem. Also, I added a couple references. —Noah 20:16, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

- keep. I'd never heard of her, and 16 titles means nothing if they're with a vanity press, but Canongate Books and Oxford University Press are pretty reputable (to put it mildly), and it seems she's been translated into Dutch, Danish and Spanish. It is a problem that the article is currently as good as unsourced, but the sources must be out there somewhere - it's an issue for editing, not deletion. --Paularblaster (talk) 22:19, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- Keep The links that User:Noah Salzman added to the article show her notability. Definite WP:COI problems here, but that is not a reason to delete. Bláthnaid 19:24, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
