  • DeleteKeep (weak). The book (seems to exist, not vanity) might make her notable, the article as is tends towards vanity advertising / link placeholder for her blog, which is not in the least interesting. --Ianb 07:11, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep - the book's notable enough - HarperCollins isn't exactly a vanity press --Rlandmann 07:13, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. See [1] (and navigate from there if you like). Seems notable to me. -- Jmabel 07:18, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Author is notable. --Viriditas 09:17, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep (weak). Amazon sales rank 74,251. My rule of thumb is a sales rank higher than 200,000 indicates that a book is "real." [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 12:37, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • The book was discussed in several young-adult literature & education forae in the US press- weak keep. -FZ 15:36, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • YOur votes are misaddressed. All what you say relates to her book. She may easily be a redirect to her book. The article contains nothing else notable. Mikkalai 18:18, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • I disagree - I think that if a book is notable, then its author is as well (not that you'd know it from the article as it currently stands). When we don't even have an article on the book to redirect to, it's an even stronger reason to keep. --Rlandmann 21:49, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
