Unnotable author. 1 book, in a very pulpy genre (romance), which has an article but may not be notable, possibly not by a mainstream publisher. Possibly WP:TOOSOON. Barney the barney barney (talk) 09:30, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not notable; fails to meet any of the criteria for WP:AUTHOR; fails to meet any of the criteria for WP:PEOPLE. Has not received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject so also fails general notability guideline. Keri (talk) 16:08, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as non-notable author of non-notable self-published book: zero coverage so far short of WP:GNG. The blogs and customer reviews above are not reliable sources. Article creator appears to have a WP:COI. See also Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Beautiful_Strangers_(book). Dricherby (talk) 21:31, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for failing WP:AUTHOR, WP:BK, WP:GNG, etc. Qworty (talk) 02:58, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per arguments here and on the other AfD for the author's book. None of the sources given are usable as RS. If the author or the book ever gains coverage in reliable sources, we can always add her or the book back to Wikipedia, but this is premature right now.
