I'm not sold on the notability of this person. Google hits are unimpressive. Prod removed by author. JuJube 11:00, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete subject appears to fail WP:BIO - as nom, Google reveals virtually zip, without assertion of notability or verifiable sources, gotta go. The Rambling Man 16:54, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Undecided, so comment. We have Exile Quarterly as a reference to the award mentioned in the article plus a list of some published works [1]. I don't know how notable the award is, or how significant the publications, so can't call this one QuiteUnusual 17:50, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep Keep - The article's subject does get Yahoo hits where she has written several short stories available online. Her book does appear in this World Cat search A todos los voy a matar and was found by Yahoo searches as a paperback in these two online stores, BestPrices.com and BiggerBooks.com. As per user, QuiteUnusual's observation, she did receive an award in 2005. Not sure if that makes her notable enough for WP:BIO but she is being written about. Ronbo76 23:24, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Comment - Vote changed to Keep based upon DGG and Oakshade's opinion. Ronbo76 05:19, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep, there seems to be something there yet it cannot be verified unless sources show notability which at this point they don't Alf photoman 15:55, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
  • keep The award helps show notability & has an V from an outside source, just needs to get the rest & put it together. DGG 22:05, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep This is an award winning writer. --Oakshade 05:13, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
