Asserts notability but no 3p sources per WP:RS ukexpat (talk) 02:07, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

• comment Currently problems with WP:RS and overly promotional, but seems as though it should be notable.

• Comment. Folks, I am not denying notability, but as it stands the article (which by the way does not even purport to be a stub) has no third party RS, none. Links to the subject's books on Amazon don't count. Therefore it fails WP:RS. – ukexpat (talk) 13:43, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep Asserts notability and seems to meet it. Needs a rewrite and better sourcing but those aren't issues for an AfD. - Dravecky (talk) 06:56, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep Seems to be a notable author of quality work. Article should be moved to correct title. Colonel Warden (talk) 10:28, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep notable comedian and author. AlbinoFerret (talk) 12:20, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete: Look at that name! She has, on her birth certificate, "Doni tamblyn?" She has a minuscule last name? Look at the "keep" votes, above: "notable!" Well, I see little to no evidence of this. The author is an online essayist, it seems, which is going to result in (guess what?) lots of web hits and yet no actual testimony to authorship equivalent to a book that sells. Forget all that, though: look at that name! I do wish folks would think before they "vote." Utgard Loki (talk) 16:48, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Comment Based on the article, the lower-case start to the last name is a typo in article creation, easily fixed if/when it survives the AfD. - Dravecky (talk) 23:45, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - Wow...you're upset over this article Utgard... Articles here[1], one book here [2], some review of the book here [3], And another review for another book [4]. Everything I see satisfies WP:N and WP:V. --Pmedema (talk) 19:02, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - I must also say: "Wow" childish much Utgard...? First, Tamblyn, even with a lowercase letter, is a respected surname in America--Where are you from? (Though it should be uppercase.) Second, Doni's FIRST published work, The Big Big Book of Humorous Training Games is in the BEST SELLERS list of McGraw Hill's Big Book series! Great fact finding work on your part, Utgard! Third, her second work: Laugh and Learn has received worldwide acclaim, and has been translated into more than 10 languages. And finally, why don't you give folks some time to add to the page and prove that Tamblyn is a modern day Marvel in many ways... 18:26, 31 March 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.248.79.18 (talk)
