January 2009 deletion proposal

I removed the following deletion proposal from the article: {{dated prod|concern = dubious [[WP:BIO|notability]]|month = January|day = 5|year = 2009|time = 20:20|timestamp = 20090105202019}}. Since this article was created, it has carried a box requesting better sources. I wish I had better sources to cite, but the fact remains that she has authored a dozen books that are sold online and available in libraries, and one of them has an article of its own. As far as I know, there is no suspicion that any particular detail in her bioagraphy is false. But the additional claim that she is of dubious notability is new to me. Could you detail exactly how this particular author is of dubious notability? Which item in the notability guidelines does the article violate? --LA2 (talk) 20:35, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a matter of "violating' WP:BIO so much as failing to meet it with a lack of independent, verifiable and reliable sources. At least in my opinion, the author's website, her publisher, and a reseller have a conflict of interest in promoting this author. We could do well with the ABBY award winners list, but I can't even find the ABBY Award here on Wikipedia. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 21:13, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, so it's the lack of sources? Not some limit on the number of published works? I acknowledge the current lack of sources and will try to improve that. Have you considered Oprah's listing as an indirect source? Just out of curiosity, have you compared the singer Elizabeth Berg and found that article better or worse than this one about the author? --LA2 (talk) 22:56, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All sources are added now

Kindly check it out. InfocenterM (talk) 18:15, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
