Delete - as I posted in my original prod notice, she is a self-published author (books are through Blue Leaf Publications, a print-on-demand house) of questionable notability. Unreferenced claims of notability. Google search on "Shannon Duffy" "Stormy Night" (her only published book to date) shows only 37 unique results.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete; absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence, but it is evidence of nonnotability. Conversely, Mike's search is good evidence of absence. Nyttend (talk) 12:11, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Good point. OlYeller21^Talktome 18:18, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:AUTHOR. Besides not being the subject of significant coverage from an independent and reliable source, the only other action that I can see that would imply notability by any guideline is the book that has been published. I don't see any indication that the book is widely cited or considered a "significant monument" so I don't see that the book can establish notability of the author.
