The result was Delete, notability not asserted --Steve _(Stephen)^talk 04:12, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Grace Kwon[edit]

I removed the speedy since there is a claim for notability (published author) that made an A7 inappropriate. However, a single book with an Amazon sales rank of 3,341,281, here, doesn't speak of much notability either. Further there is a current failure of WP:RS. Delete.

Delete I was the one who placed the original speedy. The research sounds interesting, but there's little if anything to indicate the notability of the researcher. --Finngall ^talk 00:40, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article is not so much about her, but about a thesis. It's original research. Yechiel Man 01:18, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It's a very bad idea to judge academic books by Amazon sales rank. Only a very tiny fraction of such books sell lots of copies. More important is academic recognition via citations etc. I found four citations in other academic books, which probably indicates that the journal literature has many more. --Zero^talk 07:19, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
