Suzy Elkins (writer)

Fails to assert notability under WP:CREATIVE. One novel (which turns out to be vanity-published [1] [2]); personal website has been down since 2007; and I can find no third-party sources supporting the claims that she's a "well-known" author or that the book had "critical acclaim". Appears to be a vanity creation anyway: compare creator name Alexstott (talk · contribs) and staff list of AA1 Media, Amesbury. Gordonofcartoon (talk) 14:24, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. This is a non-notable writer, and the article cites no external references to back up the claims of "critical acclaim" for her novels. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 18:15, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete, No reliable sources available to establish notability, could find nothing via google or my access to EBSCO via library to pass WP:BIO--Captain-tucker (talk) 08:42, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Self-publishing confers no notability and the claim of being "well-known" doesn't match my Google search; also no reliable sources. Accounting4Taste:talk 17:50, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Amazon shows no reviews, the article itself was obviously a publicity exercise, and it is already out of print or at least not available on Amazon.co.uk new. Doug Weller (talk) 17:56, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DELETE I'm a hardcore inclusionist, but I can't find any merit to this one. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:05, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the paucity of hits and absence of independent reviews strongly suggests lack of notability. 4 unique Ghits for Suzy G. Elkins, and 8 Ghits for Suzy Elkins. Ohconfucius (talk) 03:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
