The article is a biography of a living person whose books are published through self-publishing, not substantial enough in themselves to gain any wide exposure to warrant a biography. The one linked article to SLATE magazine is an opinion peace by Bonnie Goldstein, a freelance journalist who writes semi-partial blog pieces (which in themselves do not meet full publishing standards in comparison to professionally published pieces). The piece briefly mentions Ellen Tanner Marsh, and again not enough to substantiate a biography, and is third-party.--D Namtar17:16, 25 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
Normally, yes, but it claims one or more of them is one the NYT best seller list . This needs to be documented, but if true, might well show notability DGG ( talk ) 19:25, 25 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
I got around to checking the New York Times Bestseller. I cannot find any archived reference to the book or the author. It and its author are clearly not notable, even if it were on the list.--D Namtar15:25, 16 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
