• Delete. Article apparently written by its subject, notability not established, fails WP:CREATIVE. Seems to have been wriitten mainly to promote forthcoming book. WWGB (talk) 13:13, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

• Delete No evidence of notability. One of the references does not even mention her, and the other is a blog post by her. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:23, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
• Keep. I did write it myself. I did not realise I could not. Am I not the best authority on myself? Should I get a friend to sign up and put up an entry instead? At least I am upfront about it... In any case, the language is neutral, unbiassed and all details are verifiable and true and correct. Several of my articles are quoted on Wikipedia, I may not be of world significance, but I cannot see why I should not be allowed to have an entry. Please let me know if you wish me to respond to any other concerns. (NOTE: transferred author comment from talk page). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geesche (talk • contribs)

• Delete Sources are by, not about Jacobsen. clear self promotion (no you're not the best authority on yourself, you're not independent and you're biased). duffbeerforme (talk) 11:21, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
• Delete - fails WP:Notability (people). A friend put up to write about you would still have a conflict of interest but, regardless of the source, this does not meet Wikipedia's notability standard. JohnCD (talk) 20:59, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
