Contested prod. Article about an unremarkable vegan food writer. No evidence of notability, no reliable sources - fails WP:BIO, WP:RS andy (talk) 08:19, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Google News and Scholar both provide a limited number of reliable sources. I'm sure there are more that are simply not indexed. BelloWello (talk) 08:26, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See my note below - "limited" is definitely the word for it! andy (talk) 10:42, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep- She is a published author and is known around the country. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.178.196.129 (talk) 16:42, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. The article doesn't articulate the evidence for notability, but GNews does reveal a modest amount of coverage in reliable sources.[1]--Arxiloxos (talk) 22:06, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That search link in fact generates zero hits on current gnews and only 15 archive hits. That's not notability! andy (talk) 10:36, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - A poor article, but a case clearly can be made that this is a recognized expert in the field of vegan cooking. Carrite (talk) 17:05, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Then why not make that case, either here or in the article? Rose Elliot is a good example of a vegan writer who is unquestionably notable - awards, honours, lots of entries in reliable sources, recognised by her peers. Ms Bennett on the other hand, although no doubt a decent writer, has done nothing that distinguishes her from hundreds of other folk. I fail to see in what way she meets wikipedia's notability criteria. andy (talk) 10:41, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Perfectly notable person and frequently referenced in her field. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nirame (talk • contribs) 02:52, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See my comments above. Will someone please add even one of these reliable sources to the article? andy (talk) 09:27, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm adding more sources now. Gnews unfortunitely doesnt archive newspapers terribly well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nirame (talk • contribs) 12:33, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
