Questionably notable poet as my searches found nothing better than this and this and this has hardly changed much less improved since November 2008 and wasn't edited again until almost a year later and those were mostly maintenance edits.

Comment: Is Turner publishing a self-pub or vanity press, or is it legit? It's where her books are published. That might settle the matter. I have to admit I've never heard of her, and as most folks here know that I'm generally quite the inclusionist on WPEQ and women both, so I will say that I'm dubious and leaning delete, but what I'm wondering is if these books are published by a mainstream press or not? All I can find are circular references on Google. equisearch comes up empty ( a number of major US horse magazines are there); Western Horseman comes up zilch, so I can't say she's notable. Not finding much that gives me grounds to think GNG. She's not a palomino judge (though she raises palominos) and she's not coming up in the AQHA judges' list, either. I found this, but I can't say I'm impressed. I'll let others weigh in and check the publisher per WP:SELFPUB, but I'm dubious and leaning delete here.

Delete: Per my comment above, I must vote "delete." I'm not seeing any grounds for notability, I'm not finding links to her poetry, she's not a judge, not a championship winning trainer. Has published a couple how-to books, but of minimal impact and I can't determine if they were print on demand or not. I'd say NOTYET. Montanabw ^(talk) 19:49, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I'm finding nothing. Just nothing, even the 3rd ref in the article itself leads to the USDA, where a search on the site finds nothing about "Tena Bastian".E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:49, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
