I can't find references that convince me this author truly meets WP:GNG. The links in the article are mostly self-published. Many are self promotional; notably, links to the subject's own Kickstarter funding campaigns, and to guest-written pieces at Today and the Huffington Post websites. Most all are self-published primary sources, even if thinly veiled. It's not hard to find a few mentions of the books, so maybe the books are more deserving of articles than the author is.

Delete as although News, browser and Highbeam found some links, there's nothing particularly better. Pinging interested subject users

I'm not really finding much either. I see a few places running excerpts or general human interest pieces, but they're fairly few and far between. The best I found was this article that talks about her appearance on the Today Show, however that's not really enough to have an article. From what I can see, she received a small flurry of coverage around 2012 but not much attention since then.

At the very least this will need to be cleaned to get all of the promotional material out. I just found three hotlinks to Amazon in the bibliography section. (sighs)

Keep. Author of three (3) books: Mediation in the Workplace: (2001), Fat Kids: Truth and Consequences (2014), and Fat Sex: The Naked Truth (2015).

Delete The "mediation" book seems to have been reviewed in some niche journals and is held in ~500 libraries, but that hardly makes it a bestseller. I couldn't find reviews at Booklist or Publisher's Weekly, and I couldn't find any mention searching JSTOR. I couldn't even find the reviews that are listed; those journals don't seem to be in any of the indexes I have access to. In any case, one moderately successful book is not enough.

I ended up finding those through the databases offered via the libraries for Drexel and VCU. I was a little surprised that I found them, to be honest, since they didn't show up in other searches.

Delete - Searches did not turn up enough to show they meet the notability criteria. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 16:55, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
